A natural antibacterial molecule shows clinical promise. Its unusual binding site is on an excellent target: ...

When exposed to antibiotics, approximately one out of every 10 8 -10 9 bacteria develops resistance due to spontaneous ...

Researchers have identified a new way to fight infections like Lyme disease and syphilis by disrupting the bacteria’s ‘motor, ...

As the true experts of our immune system, pathogenic bacteria produce enzymes that can modify the carbohydrates (glycans) of the defense mechanisms in order to favor bacterial survival and ...

aureus resistant to antibiotics (e.g. MRSA) has become a significant public health problem. Genes encoding virulence factors in these bacteria are frequently carried on mobile genetic elements, such ...

That process led to the group discovering a lasso peptide that exhibited broad-spectrum antibiotic activity and was effective ...
