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 ...

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 ...

Bacterial vaginosis, commonly known as BV, is the most common vaginal infection. Nearly 30% of women in the U.S. will experience bacterial vaginosis at some point in their lifetime. Bacterial ...

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 ...

Every year, foodborne illness affects around 600 million people worldwide, including 48 million Americans (1, 2). While there are many causes of foodborne illness, one major cause is bacterial ...

The symptoms of a bacterial infection will often depend on the location of the infection in the body. However, some common general symptoms include fever, fatigue, and swollen lymph nodes. Certain ...

BioAFM is becoming increasingly essential in biological and biomedical research due to its exceptional resolution and ability to study live cells under physiologically relevant and ambient conditions, ...

Published in the Journal of Bioresources and Bioproducts, a new study presents a novel composite hydrogel combining bacterial cellulose, conductive polypyrrole, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to treat ...

Researchers have found that antibiotic-resistant bacteria are fatter and shorter than their antibiotic-sensitive parental strains, and that these morphological changes correlate with changes in the ...
