Researchers have uncovered a microscopic weapon that can literally tear viruses apart from the inside, a single protein that ...

Scientists have uncovered how DnaA, the master key to DNA replication, opens the door to bacterial growth. This breakthroughpaves the way for new antibiotics to combat the rising tide of antibiotic ...

Red arrows indicate the DNA repair pathways that are known to aid bacterial survival as persisters and gamblers in the presence of fluoroquinolones. Blue color arrow indicates downregulation, while ...

Bacterial topoisomerase inhibitors represent a promising class of antimicrobial agents that target essential enzymes involved in DNA replication and maintenance. By inhibiting enzymes such as DNA ...

Transposons are critical drivers of bacterial evolution that have been studied for many decades and have been the subject of Nobel Prize winning research. Now, researchers from Cornell University have ...

Common ocean bacteria struggle to divide when conditions change, reshaping how warming seas affect ecosystems.

As the number of antibiotic-resistant infections continues to rise, scientists are looking to bacteriophages (“phages”), viruses that infect bacteria, as an approach to tackling antibiotic resistance.
