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 ...

Researchers report how Paenibacillus avoids harm by its own antibiotic — information that is crucial for developing new drug ...

In a new study published March 21 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Henry Mattingly of the Simons Foundation's Flatiron Institute presents a new computational method for predicting ...

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 ...

With the rapid development of antibiotics in the 1930s, phage therapy – using viruses known as bacteriophages or phages to tackle bacterial infections – fell into oblivion. But as the current rise in ...

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

Bacteria that rarely tumble are likely to get trapped by obstacles, slowing dispersion. Bacteria that tumble frequently often “retrace their steps,” also slowing dispersion. Dispersion is maximized by ...
