Illustration of bacteriophage viruses attacking bacterium. Scientists harness bacteria-eating viruses to create a powerful new weapon against contamination and infection. Researchers have developed a way…
Magnetic bacteria (grey) can squeeze through narrow intercellular spaces to cross the blood vessel wall and infiltrate tumors. Credit: Yimo Yan / ETH Zurich Researchers…
A new mechanism has been discovered that enables bacteria to take up nutrients from their human host and bypass antibiotic treatment. This new form of…
The new findings suggest that marine microbes use photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is used by marine bacteria to take in carbon dioxide. Scientists may be able to…
The researchers were able to observe bacterial colonies’ clumpy growth in three dimensions. Credit: Neil Adelantar/Princeton University Researchers found that bacteria colonies form in three…
iBioFAB accelerates the biological engineering process by integrating artificial intelligence/machine learning with automation. Credit: Julia Pollack Researchers were able to discover and characterize new ribosomally…
The research is an important step in the development of new effective drugs. A new antibiotic that can fight against resistant bacteria. Antibiotics were long thought…

The study revealed how bacteria calculate their return back to life. Unexpected bacterial cell activity provides insights about life in extreme states on Earth and…
Pucklike bioelectronics designed at Rice University contain programmable bacteria and are attached to an electrode that delivers a signal when they detect a target contaminant,…
In lab tests, the new compound destroys 10 strains of antibiotic-resistant MRSA. A compound that both inhibits the MRSA superbug and renders it more vulnerable…

Black Death Shaped Evolution, Setting the Course for How Our Immune Systems Respond to Disease Today
Using DNA extracted from teeth of people who died before, during and during the Black Death pandemic, researchers were able to identify genetic differences that…
Research has uncovered new evidence that one of the darkest periods in recorded human history placed considerable selective pressure on the human population, changing the…
Bacteria move themselves forward by coiling long, threadlike appendages into corkscrew forms that function as makeshift propellers. University of Virginia scientists have solved a decades-old…
The study found that fecal transplantation is an effective remedy for patients infected with Clostridioides difficile. While normal therapy is often insufficient to treat stubborn…
The extreme steps these microorganisms would take to punish cheater species surprised the researchers. A study reveals that bacteria can behave “spitefully.” Annoyed by freeloaders? You…
The coating only needed one hour to kill 99.7% of a common pathogen called Staphylococcus aureus. A new copper coating could be the next superbug…
Scientists have discovered that a type of bacteria is not as harmless as previously thought. It can actually cause infections in patients with bronchiectasis, asthma,…
