Trying to predict how bacteria will spread is like predicting the flight of a leaf in a windstorm—it's a complicated and ...

Bacteria that rarely tumble are likely to get trapped by obstacles, slowing dispersion. Bacteria that tumble frequently often “retrace their steps,” also slowing dispersion. Dispersion is ...

"Bacterial risk isn't just about what grows in the microwave – it's about how bacteria move between hands, surfaces and food in a continuous cycle," Schindler said. Something else the ...

Scientists have built a giant petri dish to visualize how bacteria move as they become immune to drugs. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news releases ...

Some things just work better in pairs—like peanut butter and jelly, or famous duos like Simon and Garfunkel. Now, scientists ...

Transposons, or "jumping genes" – DNA segments that can move from one part of the genome to another – are key to bacterial evolution and the development of antibiotic resistance. Cornell University ...

In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive antibiotic resistance and even shape entire ecosystems. Now an interdisciplinary ...

In addition to the, skin infection, people can have, vomiting and diarrhea. The bacteria move fast, and destroy tissue around the muscles,, nerves, and blood vessels. People may need amputations ...

Researchers at ICIQ in Tarragona have developed a simple technique to produce microscopic crystals that activate in the presence of light, releasing silver ions with antimicrobial activity.
