Researchers led by Imperial College London have uncovered new insights into how bacteria hook up to exchange DNA that helps them resist antibiotics. Understanding the molecular basis of bacterial ...

The ever-diverse fungi play several key roles in our day–to–day life. From facilitating ecological nutrient cycling, to being used in industrial manufacturing and being a key ingredient in our food, ...

Bacterial resistance is one of the biggest looming health threats for modern medicine, but new research by a transatlantic team of researchers has offered a better understanding of how this resistance ...

Researchers have uncovered new details about how bacteria hook up to exchange DNA that helps them resist antibiotics. One of the primary ways harmful bacteria acquire resistance to antibiotics is by ...

Conjugation has classically been considered a bacterium-to-bacterium DNA transfer driven by the donor cell and is typically plasmid-encoded. Theoretically it is possible that any type of cell can ...

As one example, the researchers showed that they could track a process called bacterial conjugation, during which bacteria exchange pieces of DNA. By integrating a DNA "barcode" into each cell's ...

Pathogenic bacteria in humans are developing resistance to antibiotics much faster than expected. Now, computational research at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, shows that one reason could ...

Most bacteria are haploid organisms containing only one copy of each gene per cell for most of the growth cycle. This means that the chance for correcting random mutations in bacterial genes would ...

BOSTON & ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Omniose, a preclinical biotechnology company, today announced an exclusive collaboration agreement with AstraZeneca to research potential vaccines for bacterial ...

Researchers have uncovered new details about how bacteria hook up to exchange DNA that helps them resist antibiotics. Researchers have uncovered new details about how bacteria hook up to exchange DNA ...
