Could the bacteria in your mouth predict whether you are at risk of dementia? Emerging research suggests that the bacteria ...

A new study, combining powerful genomic-scale microscopy with a technical innovation, captured which genes bacteria turn on ...

Bacteria detect when nearby cells are dying and proactively form a protective biofilm. Understanding how bacteria communicate and respond to threats is crucial for combating infections.

"We've discovered that when many bacteria grow in fluids containing spaghetti-like molecules called polymers, such as mucus in the lungs, they form cable-like structures that intertwine like ...

Scientists widely believed that bacteria, due to their unique genetic exchange mechanisms and the vast size of their global ...

Antibiotic resistance is fueled either by new bacterial mutations or by acquiring resistance genes from other bacteria. A team of researchers recently published a report on a drug that ...

The bacteria form long filaments, up to 300 times the normal length, which implies that the growth process is not markedly affected.

Therefore, 1 × 2 16 = 1 × 65,536, which is 65,536 bacteria, or 6.55 x 10 4 bacteria in standard form. 1 division every 20 minutes = 3 divisions per 60 minutes. 2 hours × 3 divisions = 6 ...

"Respiratory bacteria attach to the surfaces of the lungs and they secrete this coating [that] forms a lining and stops antibiotics getting in, so they've created their own protective home ...
