Researchers have produced the most detailed image to date of a bacteriophage -- phage for short -- that has allowed them to see for the first time the structural makeup of the part of the phage that ...

Definition, basics (components and formation process). A biofilm forms when one or several bacterial cells suspended in the water attach to a surface. At this point, the cell either detaches again ...

To overcome these limitations, Professor Eijiro Miyako and his research team from the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) have developed a novel GO nanocomposite enhanced with ...

3 Microbiologists still use the eponymous Petri plates today to grow and store bacterial and fungal cultures. Important Culture Media Components for Bacterial Growth “The main components are molecules ...

Following infection, the bacteriophage hijacks the bacterium's cellular machinery to prevent it from producing bacterial components and instead forces the cell to produce viral components.

For several decades starting in the late 1960s, many new antibiotics, of different classes that target different bacterial components or processes, were introduced, although in more recent decades, ...

Antibiotic resistance is a serious threat to public health. When antibiotics don't work, we risk not being able to treat many types of infections and people who would previously have been cured, can ...

this interaction involves a complex interplay between host receptors and bacterial components. Studies suggest that the BBB responds to bacterial encounter with a core gene activation program ...
