Bacterial infections pose significant challenges to agriculture and medicine, especially as cases of antibiotic-resistant bacteria continue to rise. In response, scientists are elucidating the ways ...

A research team at Leibniz-HKI has described a new enzyme that renders the highly toxic molecule malleicyprol harmless.

Antibiotic resistance is a major concern, particularly for immunocompromised patients, who are at greater risk of serious infections. Microbiota composition can help prevent pathogenic bacteria from ...

Mycoplasma pneumoniae are tiny bacteria typically known to cause lung infections. But now, a group of scientists have turned them into double agents. Genetically engineered Mycoplasma helped break ...

Burkholderia pseudomallei is considered one of the most dangerous bacterial pathogens in the tropics. The disease melioidosis, caused by these ...

Experts are increasingly turning to machine learning to predict antibiotic resistance in pathogens. With its help, resistance ...

In the fight against bacterial pathogens, researchers are combining vaccination with targeted colonization of the intestine by harmless microorganisms. This approach could potentially mark a turning ...

In a recent study published in the journal PNAS, researchers surveyed the global airborne bacterial communities to understand their community structure and biogeographic distribution patterns. In ...

Bacteria can synthesize a variety of biopolymer products from basic building blocks, such as polysaccharides from sugars, protein chains from amino acids, or other organic chains like polyamides, ...
