Synthetic bacteria becomes smallest lifeform that can move around By Michael Irving December 04, 2022 A microscope image of the helix-shaped bacteria Spiroplasma, proteins from which have been used to ...

If bacteria are in an environment that includes obstacles, which is often the case, they can easily become slowed or trapped. When a bacterium hits a roadblock, it can either slide along the surface ...

A research team studied how bacteria swim in complex fluids, providing insight into how the microorganisms move through different environments, such as their natural habitats or inside the human body.

Presence of fecal and skin microbes on kitchen cutting boards indicates poor hygiene that increases the risk of food ...

Many of the bacteria that cause flesh-eating infections thrive in warmer climates. One of these bacteria, Vibrio vulnificus, has been found in unexpected areas due to climate change. Wounds infected ...

In other words, scientists were able to “listen” to the sound of a single bacteria, moving all by itself in the water. The recording, which is linked below, is an unprecedented view into the ...

By analyzing Escherichia coli (E. coli) genomes, researchers have shown that antimicrobial resistant bacteria and the genes ...

Antibiotics are routinely added to animal feed to prevent illness. This practice contributes to resistant bacteria that can ...
