Using an innovative combination of biochemical experiments and ultra-high-resolution microscopy, a research team at Kiel ...
Researchers have discovered a widespread mechanism in bacteria that enhances the bacteria's defense against environmental threats. The discovery, which may be important for research into developing ...
A research team at the University of Greifswald's Research Training Group RTG-PRO "Proteases in pathogen and host: importance ...
Bacterial pathogens have evolved diverse strategies to manipulate host cells to establish infection. At a molecular level, this is often mediated by virulence factors that are secreted into host cells ...
Phenotypic heterogeneity, a feature of both bacteria and eukaryotic cells, arises from inherent cell-to-cell variability. In eukaryotes, single-cell RNA sequencing has led to an explosion in ...
Scientists have uncovered a surprising twist in how bacteria share genes—including those that spread antibiotic resistance. Tiny virus-like particles called gene transfer agents (GTAs), once ancient ...
As antibiotic-resistant infections rise and are projected to cause up to 10 million deaths per year by 2050, scientists are looking to bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, as an alternative.
