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 ...

Researchers studying bacteria from freshwater lakes and soil say they have determined a protein's essential role in maintaining the germ's shape. Because the integrity of a bacterial cell's 'envelope' ...

Researchers have determined a protein’s essential role in bacterial envelope structure and function, which could inspire a search for better antibiotics. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University (MD, ...

Bacteria build nanoweapons when their cell envelope is damaged, striking back with precision. Researchers triggered this response using an ultra-sharp tip. (Nanowerk News) Some bacteria deploy tiny ...

A new study reveals that bacteria can survive antibiotic treatment through two fundamentally different "shutdown modes," not ...

The Cpx envelope stress response is a central regulatory mechanism in Escherichia coli and related Gram-negative pathogens, orchestrating the detection and remediation of damage to the bacterial cell ...

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 ...

Microbiologists have long known that ancient, inactive viruses known as cryptic prophages can insert their genetic material into bacterial DNA. These genetic fragments allow bacteria to use ...
