Researchers have discovered and characterized at the atomic level a mechanism that enables bacterial pathogens—including ...

Some things just go together in your belly: peanut butter and jelly, salt and pepper, bacteria and bacteria-eating viruses. For the bacterial species that inhabit your gut, there’s a frenzy of viruses ...

Biochemists at Caltech have identified how viruses have converged on a method for killing bacteria. The researchers have homed in on an underexplored small transporter called MurJ that is a vital part ...

An AI model trained on large amounts of genetic data can predict whether bacteria will become antibiotic-resistant. The new study shows that antibiotic resistance is more easily transmitted between ...

With the rapid development of antibiotics in the 1930s, phage therapy – using viruses known as bacteriophages or phages to tackle bacterial infections – fell into oblivion. But as the current rise in ...

Antibiotics are medical marvels that have transformed once deadly bacterial infections into manageable conditions. But with a ...

A team of researchers has developed a groundbreaking kinetic model that captures the complex dynamics between microalgae and bacteria in anaerobic digestion (AD) wastewater. The model, named ADBA ...
