University of Toronto researchers have expanded our understanding of bacterial immunity with the discovery of a new protein ...

Biologists have uncovered a new mode of communication inside cells that helps bacterial pathogens learn how to evade drugs.

Discover how Listeria bacteria communicate to develop antibiotic resistance and the implications for future drug development.

Scientists have uncovered a direct molecular mechanism by which gut bacteria inject proteins into human cells, reshaping immune responses and potentially driving inflammatory disease. Scientists have ...

Widespread antibiotic use is largely to blame for the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which is currently one of the biggest threats to global health. Not only does antibiotic resistance ...

New research into antimicrobial peptides, small chains of amino acids able to damage bacterial cells, shows why some peptides are more effective at doing that and also why some cells are more ...

Experiments and modeling reveal the unexpected structure that can be seen in bacteria grown in mucus samples and biofilms. Scientists at Caltech and Princeton University have discovered that bacterial ...
