Pesticides and antibiotics are linked inextricably in the looming crisis of human and ecosystem health. Both started out as ...

Antimicrobial resistance not only undermines the efficacy of current treatments but also endangers the entirety of modern ...

A single β-lactam exposure rapidly drives stable multidrug resistance in RecA-deficient bacteria through an SOS-independent mechanism involving oxidative stress-induced mutagenesis and ...

New study shows AI can predict if Listeria bacteria will survive common food industry disinfectants, helping improve food safety and cleaning protocols.

Washing healthcare uniforms at home might seem safe. But new research shows this common practice could actually be helping ...

Molecular structure of tuberculosis efflux pump reveals how bacteria resist key antibiotic by Jeff Hansen, University of Alabama at Birmingham ...

Finding a way to disable the efflux transporters of M. tuberculosis with an inhibitor would strike a double blow — restore microbial sensitivity to antibiotic bedaquiline and break the cycle that ...

Two crucial biological processes that support the growth of bacteria, particularly pathogenic bacteria like Escherichia coli, ...

Some bacteriophages attach to bacterial cells — the first step in invading them — using the same cell-surface molecules, known as efflux pumps, that make the bacteria resistant to antibiotics.

This bacterium has four efflux pumps involved in antibiotic resistance, and Turner predicted that if he could find a phage that used one of the pumps as a way into the cell, the bacterium would be ...

Most species of bacteria can be broadly divided into two groups, known as gram-positive and gram-negative. These categories ...
