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 how acids on the surface of bacteria give these microscopic organisms their characteristic "rod" ...

A simulated cell in the early stages of division. Left half shows cytoplasm (blue cubes), mRNA degradation machinery molecules (pink), and sugar transporters (brown). Right half adds the membrane ...

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 ...

A Harvard-led breakthrough may have brought one of medicine's more futuristic ideas much closer to reality: using living ...

Researchers have long known that bacteria could potentially be used to deliver therapeutic drugs inside the human body.

Some things just go together in your belly: peanut butter and jelly, salt and pepper, bacteria and bacteria-eating viruses. For the bacterial species that inhabit your gut, there’s a frenzy of viruses ...
