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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Gut bacteria can acquire genes from neighboring microbes, adding to the genetic differences linked to how people live.

A 2021 review examined how the chemical structure and physical properties of dietary fiber influence which gut bacteria can ...

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

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 ...
