Using ribosome engineering (RE), researchers from Shinshu University introduced mutations affecting the protein synthesis ...

Do bacteria mutate randomly, or do they mutate for a purpose? Researchers have been puzzling over this conundrum for over a century. In 1943, microbiologist Salvador Luria and physicist turned ...

Antibiotics can destroy many types of bacteria, but increasingly, bacterial pathogens are gaining resistance to many commonly used types. As the threat of antibiotic resistance looms large, ...

Researchers report that phage resistance in ocean bacteria can alter growth, metabolism and sinking behavior, revealing a ...

In the 1940s, the famous Luria–Delbrück experiment showed that bacteria evolve resistance to drugs they'd never encountered thanks to a random mutational process. When you purchase through links on ...

Queensland researchers have discovered that a mutation allows some E. coli bacteria to cause severe disease in people while other bacteria are harmless, a finding that could help to combat antibiotic ...

Cleveland Clinic researchers have discovered that bacteria inside cancerous tumors may be key to understanding why ...

Researchers have discovered that a mutation in the cellulose making machinery of E. coli bacteria allows them to cause severe disease in people -- 'good' bacteria make cellulose and 'bad' bacteria can ...

A team of researchers at Baylor College of Medicine is gaining ground in their search for solutions to the global problem of bacterial antibiotic resistance, which was responsible for nearly 1.3 ...

Increased consumption of ultraprocessed foods can impact children’s gut health and immunity, leaving them more susceptible to the bacteria. As rates of colorectal cancer soar in adults younger than 50 ...

A recent study shows that bacteria living inside colorectal tumors form distinct ecosystems that are closely linked to how ...
