Physicians have relied on a class of antibiotics called polymyxins to fight potentially life-threatening Gram-negative bacterial infections for more than 80 years. These drugs are typically reserved ...

Microscopy images of bacteria strains, one, top, producing fimbriae as normal and one with high level of MEcPP unable to produce the fimbriae. If your teeth have ever felt fuzzy after skipping a ...

The way antibiotics called polymyxins pierce the armour of bacteria has been revealed in stunning detail by high-resolution microscopy, which could help us develop new treatments for drug-resistant ...

As synthetic biologists, we have spent the last few decades in awe of the breakthroughs in the field. In the last fifteen years, synthetic biologists have stored books, images, and even videos in DNA, ...

Scientists assess bacterial growth trajectories to better predict infectious capacity and the conditions that aid proliferation. This article explores the key factors that influence bacterial ...
