Natural antimicrobials called microcins are produced by bacteria in the gut and show promise in fighting infection. On the left, a Vibrio cholerae strain that produces the antimicrobial MvcC (center) ...
On a small, gently rocking research boat anchored just offshore in Chesapeake Bay, I lowered a sterile plastic bottle into the water to collect a sample for studying aquatic microbes. Workers nearby ...
A longstanding mystery about the strain of Vibrio cholerae (V. cholerae) responsible for the seventh global cholera pandemic is how this lineage has managed to out-compete other pathogenic variants.
The evolutionary history of the pandemic Vibrio cholerae lineage shows that its emergence has not been linear, but shaped by several key genetic bottlenecks that explain its rarity. From a group of ...
More than a million people each year die from infections by pathogens that are resistant to antimicrobials, and the problem is growing. Meanwhile, the discovery of new antimicrobials that can help ...
A new study by the Genomics and Microbial Evolution Group at the Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH) together with the Department of Host-Microbe Interactions at St. Jude Children's Research ...
On the left, a Vibrio cholerae strain that produces the antimicrobial MvcC (center) outcompetes a surrounding V. cholerae strain that does not produce an antidote to the antimicrobial. This creates a ...
