A bacterial defense system called SPARDA employs kamikaze-like tactics to protect cells and could be useful in future ...

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 ...

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 ...

Inflammatory gut bacteria that carry proteins structurally similar to myelin may trigger the development and progression of ...

In what they labeled a "surprising" finding, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers studying bacteria from freshwater lakes and soil say they have determined a protein's essential role in maintaining the ...

Scientists reveal how bacteria switch direction through a microscopic tug-of-war inside their motors, driven by energy and ...

Respiratory infections are among the leading causes of illness and death in the elderly, driven by immune aging, chronic ...
