Researchers discover a new class of antibiotic that selectively targets Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the bacterium that causes gonorrhoea. These substances trigger a self-destruction program, which also ...

B. subtilis spores are stable across a wide temperature range, which reduces the cost of storage and transportation.

Scientists are now looking to bacteriophage — viruses that infect bacteria — and their potential to treat drug-resistant ...

In a recent study, researchers gained new insight into the lives of bacteria that survive by grouping together as if they ...

For millions of years, frogs have flourished in microbial swamps yet rarely falling ill. To survive these hostile environments, they evolved potent chemical defenses. Now, scientists are learning to ...

Acquired resistance genes may allow bacteria to degrade or chemically modify antibiotics, rendering them ineffective. They ...

Lariocidin was efficient against strains of E. coli, including drug-resistant ones, according to the new study. View on euronews ...

This important study analyzes the effect of heat treatment on phage-bacterial interactions and convincingly shows that prior heat exposure alters the bacterial cell envelope, enhancing persistence and ...

Biology — the science of life, living things and the processes that keep us all running — links up in essential ways with ...

A group of diatom species belonging to the Nitzschia genus gave up on photosynthesis and now get their carbon straight from ...

They found a new molecule named lariocidin —a potential new antibiotic with the power to kill some of the world’s most ...

The results of a new study in mice show that early exposure to certain bacteria and fungus can give the immune system a boost and reduce the risk of type 1 diabetes.
