Bacteria can sneakily evade our best efforts at eradication by developing resistance to various pressures in their ...

An AI model trained on large amounts of genetic data can predict whether bacteria will become antibiotic-resistant. The new study shows that antibiotic resistance is more easily transmitted between ...

Bacteria are also able to communicate with each other through chemical signals, a behavior known as quorum signaling (QS). These chemical signals spread through a biofilm that colonies of bacteria ...

Researchers have unseated a previous theory for the mechanism underlying bacterial flagella movement, changing our ...

Similar in function to ballast tanks in submarines or fish bladders, many water-based bacteria use gas vesicles to regulate their floatability. In a new publication in Cell, scientists from the ...

Respiratory infections are among the leading causes of illness and death in the elderly, driven by immune aging, chronic ...

Bacteria collaborate and coordinate collectively as they form a shared structure called a biofilm, such as the dental plaque on our teeth or the microbiome associated with our gut. This ...
