Tetracycline resistance protein Tet(O), which protects the bacterial ribosome from binding the antibiotic tetracycline, is a translational GTPase with significant similarity in both sequence and ...

Three concurrent mechanisms generate gene copy number variation and transient antibiotic heteroresistance. Nature Communications , 2024; 15 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-48233-0 Cite This Page : ...

In nature as well as in our bodies, bacteria predominantly live as organized communities called biofilms. These structures ...

Mechanisms of antibiotic resistance. Bacteria employ a variety of strategies to modify a bacterial component or process so that antibiotics can no longer stop their growth or kill them. One means is ...

A new analysis shows that infectious bacteria exposed to the antibiotic albicidin rapidly develop up to a 1,000-fold increase in resistance via a gene amplification mechanism.
