Scientists create powerful metallic antibiotics using robotic chemistry, capable of eliminating lethal bacteria without ...

Antibiotics researchers have long focused on the proteins inside bacteria, hoping to find a key piece of the bacteria’s molecular machinery that, when disrupted, kills the bugs and cures infections.

The chemical reactions on which life depends need a place to happen. That place is the cell. All the things which biology recognises as indisputably alive are either cells or conglomerations of cells ...

Scientists have released new images showing, in incredible detail, antibiotics defeating disease-causing bacteria by piercing the microbes' membranes and infiltrating their innards. The antibiotics, ...

Bacteria talk to each other using N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs) as quorum sensing (QS) signals. This signaling allows the bacteria to control gene expression of virulence factors and biofilms once ...

Space-based experiments show that microgravity-induced mutations in bacteriophages may improve their ability to target ...

Scientists have captured images of polymyxins, a type of antibiotic, disrupting and infiltrating the membranes of disease-causing bacteria. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...
