Bacteria are single-celled organisms, and while we know they can move around with filaments, the exact mechanisms behind how they do so has been unclear for many years. Researchers have now used ...

Some bacterial cells can prey on others, and launch attacks on target cells. So without eyes, ears, or a brain, how do these predatory bacteria identify their prey? Researches may have finally found ...

The Bacterial Physiology and Pathogenesis Seminar Series aims to provide a platform for in-depth discussions and presentations on the latest developments in bacterial physiology and pathogenesis. Join ...

Your gut is home to trillions of bacteria that constantly “sense” their surroundings to survive and thrive. New research shows that beneficial gut microbes, especially common Clostridia bacteria, can ...

A team of researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has introduced a virtual Gram staining technique that could transform how microbiologists stain and classify bacteria. This ...

A mechanism of antiviral immunity in bacteria has been characterized. A research team from Umeå University (Sweden) has uncovered a mechanism for how bacteria build up antiviral immunity against ...
