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

Researchers have now developed a new single-cell genome technique to understand how bacteria interact and exchange genetic material, including antibiotic resistance genes at the individual cell level.

Scientists have uncovered an elegant biophysical trick that tuberculosis-causing bacteria use to survive inside human cells, a discovery that could lead to new strategies for fighting one of the world ...

A study published in the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules presents the most detailed image obtained to date ...

Most bacteria, including many bacterial pathogens, are surrounded by an outer protective layer of sugar molecules, known as a ...

Researchers have identified a new approach to controlling bacterial infections. The team found a way to turn on a vital bacterial defense mechanism to fight and manage bacterial infections. The ...

Researchers have produced the most detailed image to date of a bacteriophage -- phage for short -- that has allowed them to see for the first time the structural makeup of the part of the phage that ...

In a first-of-its-kind lab study, scientists prove that probiotic bacteria stimulate immediate and measurable changes in brain cell function, hinting at a new direct communication between your gut and ...

Bacteria live in nearly every habitat on earth including within soil, water, acidic hot springs and even within our own guts. Many are involved in fundamental processes like fermentation, ...
