The World Health Organization is sounding the alarm on the rising number of drug-resistant bacterial infections.

Sequencing mammoth DNA has already helped scientists map out how these Ice Age giants evolved, migrated, and survived. But ...

Bacterial cells are far simpler than animal cells - bacterial cells don't even have membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria or a nucleus. But a new study has suggested that bacterial cells are ...

Even though humans are complex organisms and bacteria are single cells, and each are made of completely different cell types (eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, respectively), there are some similar ...

Researchers describe the full molecular structure of the phage DEV. DEV infects and lyses Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria, an opportunistic pathogen in cystic fibrosis and other diseases. DEV is part ...

The antibiotic EVG7, developed in Leiden, has proven capable of fighting the dangerous gut bacterium C. difficile with only a ...

Researchers at Umeå University have identified a key molecular player that helps bacteria survive the hostile environment ...

Everywhere you go, you carry a population of microbes in your gastrointestinal tract that outnumber the human cells making up ...

E. coli is arguably the most well-studied organism on Earth, but scientists have now discovered a new behavior that’s almost never seen in bacteria. The normally single-celled organisms have shown ...

Nobody wants to be average. But for a long time, scientists have found it convenient to think of bacterial cells as just that: "average." Researchers have traditionally relied on population-level ...

Two Alfred University students studying with Assistant Professor of Biology Cat Clarke presented research conducted under Clarke’s guidance at ...
