Bacteria that rarely tumble are likely to get trapped by obstacles, slowing dispersion. Bacteria that tumble frequently often “retrace their steps,” also slowing dispersion. Dispersion is maximized by ...

A bacterial defense system called SPARDA employs kamikaze-like tactics to protect cells and could be useful in future ...

An AI model trained on large amounts of genetic data can predict whether bacteria will become antibiotic-resistant. The new study shows that antibiotic resistance is more easily transmitted between ...

Inflammatory gut bacteria that carry proteins structurally similar to myelin may trigger the development and progression of MS, a study found.

Scientists reveal how bacteria switch direction through a microscopic tug-of-war inside their motors, driven by energy and ...

Scientists have uncovered a new explanation for how swimming bacteria change direction, providing fresh insight into one of ...

Are all bacterial cells in a group alike? It doesn't seem so. A population of bacterial cells may be heteroresistant, which is to say that some may be able to evade the effects of antibiotics, while ...
