"The changes in metabolism are making antibiotics work less well and helping bacteria evolve resistance," said Yang, an ...

A new Rutgers Health study reveals a surprising twist in the antibiotic resistance story: instead of simply killing bacteria, ...

This is because resistance evolution involves a complex interplay between the specific drug, bacterial genetics and both natural and treatment ecology. Incorporating details of the molecular ...

Although genetic studies have only been undertaken ... ensure isogenicity of mutant and wild-type strains. Currently, the bacteria are only grown in complex medium, so many nutritional screens ...

Ph.D., associate professor of molecular biology and genetics at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. "We essentially wanted to answer the question: If bacterial cells don't have any ...

Bacteria carry countless hidden treasures in their DNA—fragments that could hold the key to new medicines. But how do you ...

Researchers used new, long-read genetic sequencing technology to show that there are bacterial genomes within the genome of one species of fruit fly. This discovery seems to be the largest known ...

However, current genetic engineering methods to harness ... The findings were published today in the journal Molecular Cell. Bacteria populate virtually every habitat on Earth, including within ...

Instead, they recognize molecular patterns associated with disease ... For this reason, the researchers were able to associate the four types of bacteria with very specific parts of the sunflowers’ ...
