Biologists have uncovered a new mode of communication inside cells that helps bacterial pathogens learn how to evade drugs.

Some bacterial membrane transporters work almost like freight elevators to transport substances through the cell membrane into the interior of the cell. The transporter itself spans the bacterial ...

Light is a universal stimulus that influences all living things. Cycles of light and dark help set the biological clocks for ...

Researchers are unlocking the mystery of how bacteria harness viruses to wipe out the competition. The answers could help spur the development of alternatives to antibiotics. Bacteriophages, viruses ...

Evolution of bacterial pathogen populations has been detected in a variety of ways including phenotypic tests, such as metabolic activity, reaction to antisera and drug resistance and genotypic tests ...

Diverse gut bacteria have been found to block pathogenic microorganisms from getting the nutrients they need to thrive and infect the body. The gut microbiome is comprised of hundreds of different ...

A destructive plant pathogen has long puzzled scientists with its ability to move swiftly through crops and cause sudden, ...
