New study reveals that bacteria can survive antibiotic treatment through two fundamentally different "shutdown modes," not ...

Bacteria that rarely tumble are likely to get trapped by obstacles, slowing dispersion. Bacteria that tumble frequently often “retrace their steps,” also slowing dispersion. Dispersion is maximized by ...

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 Hebrew University has shown that bacteria can survive antibiotic exposure via two distinct ...

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 ...

The research shows that antibiotic persistence is not a single biological phenomenon, but instead arises from two fundamentally different growth-arrest states, a discovery that helps resolve years of ...

Lucy Shapiro received this year’s Lasker Special Achievement Award for her discovery of how bacteria use genetic circuits to encode three-dimensional cellular life. “I was quite shocked, truly,” said ...

Virus-built silver appears much more effective against bacteria than commercial silver. In A Nutshell Lab safety tests showed ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and AlveoliX have developed the first human 'lung-on-chip' model using stem cells ...
