Researchers have revealed how polymyxins, crucial last-resort antibiotics, break down bacterial armor by forcing cells to ...

The new study, published in the journal Nature Microbiology, revealed in high-resolution images and biochemical experiments ...

A team led by UCL (University College London) and Imperial College London researchers has shown for the first time how ...

The University College London and Imperial College London focused on antibiotics called Polymyxin B, which kill harmful Gram-negative bacteria like E. coli. These bacteria are highly difficult to ...

Bacterial fragments called peptidoglycans may influence daily sleep patterns and also affect the brain health cycle strongly.

The way antibiotics called polymyxins pierce the armour of bacteria has been revealed in stunning detail by high-resolution ...

Adding small doses of a simple molecule called chlorate to standard antibiotics was found to be 10,000 times more effective at killing bacterial cells in chronic wounds than single-drug antibiotics.

Skoltech researchers and their colleagues from the Pasteur Institute and the University of Lorraine, France, have uncovered ...

Bacteria are constantly moving with the help of motility organs called flagella or pili to colonize new niches. Also, bacteria can exchange information, like "speaking to each other," and thus acquire ...

New studies show that a bacterial molecule, peptidoglycan, is present in the brain and fluctuates with sleep patterns. This ...

New lab research suggests caffeine may weaken certain antibiotics by blocking entry into certain cells. Doctors explain what ...

A new study shows that bacterial cell wall molecules, specifically peptidoglycan, are present in the brain and fluctuate with ...
