Scientists have discovered how a diarrhea-causing strain of bacteria uses 'molecular scissors' to cut open and destroy gut cells, leading to severe illness and sometimes death.

For millions of years, frogs have flourished in microbial swamps yet rarely falling ill. To survive these hostile ...

Could a gene regulatory network in gut microbes have evolved its elaborate and tightly regulated molecular machinery only to pump out antibiotics indiscriminately? Researchers show this is an ...

"Lariocidine is not susceptible to many of the mechanisms that make disease-causing bacteria resistant to the available antibiotics," the researchers told Fox News Digital. The molecule has a unique ...

Antimicrobial resistance is a global issue, making the search for a new generation of antibiotics imperative. Scientists ...

The molecule has a unique structure of a "knotted lasso or a pretzel ... specific site in the ribosome to which none of the known antibiotics bind, and stops the ribosome from making proteins." ...

When bacteria become resistant, the effect of antibiotics disappears ... historical gene transfers between bacteria using information about the bacteria's DNA, structure, and habitat. The model was ...
