Researchers have uncovered how a disease-causing bacterium uses a single protein to interfere with the body's defenses in ...

Researchers at the University of Oxford have engineered chromosome-free bacterial particles called SimCells that killed more ...

Take a typical fish out of the water and it won't live long. It gets the oxygen it needs from the water it swims in. In a ...

While it is clearly informative to study 'static' samples, such as bacteria that are not alive, observing the living organism allows us to directly follow changes in the course of an organism's life, ...

We are continually in an evolutionary arms race with bacteria. As we develop new antibiotics, they develop resistance, and so ...

The E. coli cells were imaged by the London Centre for Nanotechnology at UCL. A tiny needle - just a few nanometers wide - was run over the bacterial cell, “feeling” the shape to create an image, a ...

The bacterium E. coli is the most common cause of urinary tract infections and bloodstream infections. But in the search for ...

Escherichia coli bacteria imaged by high-speed inline force mapping and fluorescence microscopy. Simultaneous topography and elastic modulus maps show a stiffening of the division site. Light and ...

Scientists can now design virus-based bacteria killers from scratch, potentially reshaping the fight against antibiotic ...
