If you've been hitting the gym and getting results, you know it's time to strut your stuff; and it turns out bacteria feel the same way. Researchers from Japan have found that bacteria that have ...

In a recent study published in Nature Methods, researchers assessed a novel method for bacterial cell segmentation named Omnipose. Breakthroughs in microscopy are extremely promising for enabling ...

Representative images of antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli strains and the sensitive parental strain (P) from one of three datasets (Dataset 1) are shown. Four lines were isolated from each ...

Omnipose, a deep learning software, is helping to solve the challenge of identifying varied miniscule bacteria in microscopy images. It can also identify several other types of tiny objects in ...

In what they labeled a “surprising” finding, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers studying bacteria from freshwater lakes and soil say they have determined a protein’s essential role in maintaining the ...

Composite image of E. coli exposed to the polymyxin antibiotic – the images show the changes to the outer layer of armour over time. From left to right: bacterium untreated by the antibiotic; ...

Stunning images reveal for the first time how antibiotics pierce deadly bacteria’s armor. Scientists have shown how life-saving drugs called polymyxins puncture the defenses of harmful bugs. They say ...

Researchers found that the bacterium C. perfringens modulates the structure of its biofilm at different temperatures by regulating the expression of the novel extracellular protein BsaA. They showed ...

The World Health Organization estimates that antibiotic resistant infections kill more than a million people worldwide every year, so many researchers are actively looking for new ways to combat it.
