University of Toronto researchers have expanded our understanding of bacterial immunity with the discovery of a new protein ...

Bacterial lipoproteins are essential components of the cell envelope, serving diverse roles that range from maintaining membrane integrity to mediating virulence and antibiotic resistance. These ...

The electrical potential across the bacterial cell envelope indicates when bacteria no longer operate as individual cells but as a collective. Researchers have discovered this connection between the ...

The transport cycle of TRAP transporters is depicted schematically in the middle of the figure. To trap the transporter in specific states, the stator and elevator domains were cross-linked by ...

University of Toronto researchers have expanded our understanding of bacterial immunity with the discovery of a new protein ...

In the past few decades, many Gram-negative bacteria have acquired multi-drug resistance, compounding the global threat to public health. Many pathogenic bacteria, including those that cause dysentery ...

The emergence of multi-drug resistance bacteria and healthcare-associated infections are frequent issues in the treatment of suppurating wounds. A group of researchers has created a bactericidal ...

Scientists create powerful metallic antibiotics using robotic chemistry, capable of eliminating lethal bacteria without ...

Antibiotics researchers have long focused on the proteins inside bacteria, hoping to find a key piece of the bacteria’s molecular machinery that, when disrupted, kills the bugs and cures infections.
