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

Discover how a tiny RNA molecule serves as a molecular switch in viral infections, providing insights into phage biology.

Lucy Shapiro received this year’s Lasker Special Achievement Award for her discovery of how bacteria use genetic circuits to encode three-dimensional cellular life. “I was quite shocked, truly,” said ...

In what they labeled a "surprising" finding, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers studying bacteria from freshwater lakes and soil say they have determined a protein's essential role in maintaining the ...

Researchers have discovered a widespread mechanism in bacteria that enhances the bacteria's defense against environmental threats. The discovery, which may be important for research into developing ...

New drug that disrupts two cellular targets would make it much harder for bacteria to evolve resistance. A new antibiotic that works by disrupting two different cellular targets would make it 100 ...
