A team of researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has introduced a virtual Gram staining technique that could transform how microbiologists stain and classify bacteria. This ...

Gram-negative bacteria deploy a range of protein toxins as mediators of inter-bacterial competition and pathogenicity. Among these, colicins comprise a class of ribosomally synthesised bacteriocins ...

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have successfully applied cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to unveil the molecular structures of critical protein machines that transport ...

With this in mind, microbiologist professor Brenda Wilson of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, has shared what you ...

Researchers have developed a new antibiotic that reduced or eliminated drug-resistant bacterial infections in mouse models of acute pneumonia and sepsis, while sparing healthy microbes in the mouse ...

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 ...

Physicians have relied on a class of antibiotics called polymyxins to fight potentially life-threatening Gram-negative bacterial infections for more than 80 years. These drugs are typically reserved ...

One in six bacterial infections worldwide are now resistant to common antibiotics, a landmark report from the World Health ...

In a new Frontiers in Nanotechnology study, researchers synthesize carbon dots using different precursors and studied their antimicrobial effects in gram-negative bacteria. This discovery comes at a ...

Gram-negative meningitis is a form of meningitis. The term gram-negative refers to a way of differentiating bacteria. This type of bacteria is typically resistant to drugs and most available ...
