In tight spaces that trap most microbes, one bacterium keeps moving by reconfiguring how it swims, revealing a new biological ...

University of British Columbia researchers have engineered gut bacteria that dim their fluorescent glow in the presence of ...

Biologists have uncovered a new mode of communication inside cells that helps bacterial pathogens learn how to evade drugs.

A bacterial defense system called SPARDA employs kamikaze-like tactics to protect cells and could be useful in future ...

Bacteria in the human gut can directly deliver proteins into human cells, actively shaping immune responses. A consortium led ...

Let’s say it’s 2036, and scientists are working on a new class of drugs. Today, for instance, pharmaceutical companies use ...

Gut microbes engineered to dim their fluorescence under stress offered a real-time, noninvasive biosensor to track gut health in mice.

Two recent studies from the University of California, Riverside, published in the same issue of Gut Microbes highlight the ...

Bacterial glycosylation represents a sophisticated mechanism by which pathogens modify both host and bacterial proteins, thereby subverting immune responses and modulating cellular processes. Central ...

These bacteria don’t eat food or breathe air like we do. All they need is to complete a circuit; that’s enough for them to live.

Scientists create powerful metallic antibiotics using robotic chemistry, capable of eliminating lethal bacteria without ...
