When antibiotics attack microbes, their stressed neighbors ship them proteins to help them survive, new work suggests.
A new study finds that bacteria can actively block the transfer of beneficial genes to neighboring cells, using specialized proteins to specifically destroy shared DNA before it spreads. This ...
Researchers from Durham University, Jagiellonian University (Poland) and the John Innes Centre have achieved a breakthrough in understanding DNA gyrase, a vital bacterial enzyme and key antibiotic ...
Bacteria engineered to destroy DNA can remove more than 99 per cent of genes that confer antibiotic resistance from wastewater. Treating wastewater with this method could help slow the spread of ...
Bacteria possess unique traits with great potential for benefiting society. However, current genetic engineering methods to harness these advantages are limited to a small fraction of bacterial ...
