Antibiotic resistance is widely recognized as one of the greatest global public health threats, but scientists are now uncovering an unexpected ...

The new workflow was adapted from an enzymatic DNA tagging technology, DNA-TAG, previously developed in the Devaraj lab. In ...

Study shows hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae can acquire drug resistance in the gut, challenging traditional views on ...

Recent research indicates that consuming high levels of dietary salt for an extended period may disrupt the delicate balance ...

New study shows how bacteria adapted a virus-derived injection system to recognize and attach to many different types of ...

Viruses attack nearly every living organism on Earth. To do so, they rely on highly specialized proteins that recognize and ...

Wildfire causes most living things to flee or die, but some fungi thrive afterward, even feasting on charred remains. New ...

Emerging science suggests that changes in gut health over time may be connected to the body's declining ability to repair itself as it ages.

As bacteria evolve resistance to drugs, new antibiotics are urgently needed. In their initial breakthrough, Wright and colleagues identified that a slow-growing Paenibacillus strain produces ...

Using models of vertical inheritance and horizontal transfer, they found that low doses of tetracycline, ampicillin, kanamycin, and streptomycin stabilize resistance and promote gene transfer across ...

Introduction: Food spoilage and pathogenic bacteria on food-contact surfaces, especially biofilm-forming strains, can transfer to meats during processing. The objectives of this study were to survey ...
