A new study has uncovered how the defense mechanisms of bacteria can be neutralized, facilitating more efficient genetic ...

A new study by Tel Aviv University reveals how bacterial defense mechanisms can be neutralized, enabling the efficient ...

She identified genes linked to ‘anti-defense’ systems, which help plasmids bypass bacterial defense barriers. Notably, these genes were consistently located near the DNA cut site—the point where one ...

A leading group of scientists has said research aimed at developing synthetic 'mirror' bacteria should be halted because it could pose an existential threat to humanity. The coalition of 38 ...

Bacterial skin infections can happen when bacteria enter the body due to a break in the skin. Different types of skin infections include methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), impetigo, ...

Surprisingly, the ground beneath us is packed with antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs)—tiny codes that allow bacteria to resist ...

Bacterial pathogenesis is the process by which bacteria infect and cause disease in a host. Not all bacteria are pathogens and have the ability for pathogenesis (also known as virulence). Valik et ...

They have deployed a bacteria to help them achieve this. Professor Debasish Das and Dr Krishna Kalyani Sahoo of the Department of Biosciences and Bioengineering, IIT Guwahati, have developed an ...
