Drugs that act against bacteria are mainly assessed based on how well they inhibit bacterial growth under laboratory ...

A new study reveals that bacteria can survive antibiotic treatment through two fundamentally different "shutdown modes," not ...

Antibiotics usually save lives—but against some bacteria, they can make things worse. That’s the case with the Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli, where bacterial death releases a flood of a ...

For many years, scientists believed that surviving bacteria simply went to sleep, making antibiotics that target growing bacteria less effective. The new study, published in Science Advances, shows ...

Propionibacterium acnes, now more commonly referred to as Cutibacterium acnes, is a gram-positive bacterium that naturally ...

Bacteria and viruses are often lumped together as germs, and they share many characteristics. They’re invisible to the human eye. They’re everywhere. And both can make us sick, even kill us. That last ...

Scientists assess bacterial growth trajectories to better predict infectious capacity and the conditions that aid proliferation. This article explores the key factors that influence bacterial ...
