A significant breakthrough has just been made in the world of biochemistry: a team of international researchers has developed a revolutionary method to monitor in real time an essential element of ...

An accumulation of an unexpected intermediate of the peptidoglycan recycling pathway that is able to modulate the synthesis and structure of the cell wall, has been found. An accumulation of an ...

A transporter which some bacteria use to recycle fragments of their cell wall has been discovered. Researchers found that the transporter controls resistance to certain kinds of cell-wall targeting ...

We still do not understand exactly how antibiotics kill bacteria. However, this understanding is necessary if we want to develop new antibiotics. And that is precisely what is urgently needed, because ...

A transporter which some bacteria use to recycle fragments of their cell wall has been discovered by researchers at Umeå university, Sweden. They found that the transporter controls resistance to ...

New insights into how the cancer-causing stomach bacterium keeps its shape could point the way for future, more-specialized antibiotics One of H. pylori’s defining characteristics is right there in ...

The helical shape of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacteria is essential for its pathogenicity. The Salama lab (Human Biology Division), whose research focuses on these bacteria, demonstrated in the ...

Even when bacteria appear susceptible in routine tests, tolerance can let them survive therapy long enough to drive ...
