Alcohol is used in disinfectants (think GermEx), and disinfectants are solely used to kill bacteria. And while we’re playing devil’s advocate, alcohol can also sterilize good bacteria, so it’s a toss ...

Antibiotic resistance is a global health challenge that could overtake cancer mortality within a few decades. In a new study, ...

Tiny magnetic bacteria that live in tightly bound groups are showing scientists how life might have evolved complex, multicellular forms. These rare bacteria can’t survive alone – they depend on one ...

In a recent study, researchers gained new insight into the lives of bacteria that survive by grouping together as if they ...

Antibiotic resistance is a global health challenge that could overtake cancer mortality within a few decades. In a new study, researchers show that the emergence of resistance can be understood in the ...

However, around 20% to 30% of patients with nocardiosis have no known pre-existing conditions, so the infection doesn't ...

Scanning electron microscopy, or SEM ... Since sourdough starters are created from wild yeast and bacteria in the flour, it ...

An electron microscopy images of multicellular magnetotactic bacteria that featured on the covers of the 2022 edition of The ...

Scientists have discovered a protein that enables bacteria to shut down into dormant spores under extreme conditions. The process, which enables the bacteria to become practically indestructible ...

To study this, we use state-of-the-art super-resolution microscopy and single molecule tracking to record the movement of individual molecules inside live cells. Single molecule dynamics reports on ...
