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 ...

Bacteria can swap genetic material with one another easily; one way they do it is a process called bacterial conjugation, which scientists have known about since the 1940s. But now, a major part of ...

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 ...

Broad-spectrum antibiotics have been lifesavers for decades, but their lack of selectivity can cause some problems. The drugs not only wipe out pathogenic bacteria, but also can kill beneficial ones.

Improper use of antibiotics makes it easier for drug-resistant strains of bacteria to arise. But as even drug-sensitive bacteria find loopholes, the problem might be even more dire than once thought.

ZURICH-SCHLIEREN, Switzerland, Dec. 19, 2012 -- GlycoVaxyn AG, a leader in the development of innovative vaccines, today announced a collaboration with GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals (GSK) to develop new ...

Scientists from the University of California-Davis recently developed a mathematical model of the rate of gene transfer among bacteria in the environment. Researchers believe this new model improves ...
