Biofilms are conglomerates of bacteria and other organisms, which are feared in medicine as well as other areas because they can contain pathogens and are highly resistant to treatment. Chemists at ...

Scientists have mapped in unprecedented detail the structure of Vibrio bacteria, which can cause life-threatening infections linked to antibiotic resistance. The King's College London team behind the ...

When it comes to invading healthy cells, Legionella bacteria rely on blending in rather than breaking in. New research from ...

New research has shown how collaboration can even be beneficial in the microbial world. A study reported in Science has outlined how bacterial cells can work in unison to survive antibiotic exposure.

It is a fact that reliably startles anyone who hears it for the first time: the human body is home to at least as many bacterial cells as it has cells of its own, and by many estimates the microbes ...

New study shows how bacteria adapted a virus-derived injection system to recognize and attach to many different types of cells. By systematically identifying thousands of rapidly evolving ...
