Scientists have uncovered an elegant biophysical trick that tuberculosis-causing bacteria use to survive inside human cells, ...

A University of Alberta research team has identified a new drug target to treat harmful E. coli bacteria—which cause nearly ...

In an article published in Frontiers in Microbiology, scientists have described the utility of gram-negative bacteria-derived outer membrane vesicles as vaccines and methods to expand their ...

Scientists have released new images showing, in incredible detail, antibiotics defeating disease-causing bacteria by piercing the microbes' membranes and infiltrating their innards. The antibiotics, ...

On the ISS, viruses can still infect bacteria, but the process slows and pushes both organisms to evolve along different paths ...

The electrical potential across the bacterial cell envelope indicates when bacteria no longer operate as individual cells but as a collective. Researchers have discovered this connection between the ...

Bacteria are a cornerstone of the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, helping produce everything from drugs and beer to biodiesel and fertilizer. The pharmaceutical industry, in particular, relies ...

Bacterial lipoproteins are essential components of the cell envelope, serving diverse roles that range from maintaining membrane integrity to mediating virulence and antibiotic resistance. These ...

The amphipathic lipopolysaccharides in the outer leaflet of the asymmetric outer membrane bilayer of Gram-negative bacteria block antibiotic entry, making the treatment of bacterial infections ...

CD Bioparticles launches comprehensive OMV-Based Bacterial Vaccines Development services for infectious disease and ...

The composition of biological membrane lipids has been assumed to be much the same and rather simple. But, in October 17 Nature, Jaap Damste and colleagues at the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea ...
