Drugs that act against bacteria are mainly assessed based on how well they inhibit bacterial growth under laboratory ...

In a study of bacterial populations from 29 Scandinavian lakes, scientists found that some bacteria grow quickly and efficiently on the remains of plastic bags. Their findings may help inform plastic ...

Most disease-causing bacteria are known for their speed: In mere minutes, they can double their population, quickly making a person sick. But just as dangerous as this rapid growth can be a ...

A new study reveals that bacteria can survive antibiotic treatment through two fundamentally different "shutdown modes," not ...

New insights into how some bacteria survive antibiotics could lead to the development of novel treatment strategies. Scientists have demonstrated how some fast-growing bacteria can retreatment with ...

Bacterial cells have colonized every part of our world. But even though some can evade disinfectants to live in NASA cleanrooms, others are very challenging to grow in the lab environment. Scientists ...

Beating the heat in the US is a little harder this summer than it used to be: E. coli and cyanobacteria are causing widespread beach closures at lakes and rivers. It’s a problem exacerbated by climate ...

Scientists have demonstrated how some fast-growing bacteria can retreatment with antibiotics, according to a study published today in eLife. The results show that fast-growing individuals within ...

The University of Texas at Arlington has awarded funding to research teams to launch new investigative projects. The Research Enhancement Program (REP), administered by UTA’s Office of Vice President ...
