An SH3b cell wall–binding domain from a Staphylococcus pettenkoferi enzyme kills bacteria and multiple Candida species, but ...

Researchers at the University of Notre Dame and collaborators have discovered a key process in how the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria attaches to the cell wall, advancing the understanding ...

A laboratory study of Streptococcus suis and Streptococcus pneumoniae shows that their eukaryotic-like serine/threonine ...

New research from Indiana University has uncovered a previously unknown vulnerability in how bacteria build the whip-like tails they use to move. The researchers found that building these tails can ...

Antibiotic resistance is considered one of the most urgent health threats of our time. Common bacteria such as E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus are evolving defenses against the drugs doctors rely on ...

The protein PA2854 (shown in red) in Pseudomonas aeruginosa links the outer-membrane protein OprI (shown in blue) to the cell wall (depicted in white), a process that is necessary for the health of ...

Researchers have discovered that bacteria can sense threats in advance through a general danger signal. Bacteria detect when nearby cells are dying and proactively form a protective biofilm.
