The first large-scale genetic study of E. coli's protective armor has identified the five capsule types that are responsible ...
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have identified an enzyme that acts early in pneumococcal infections to promote bacterial survival and invasive disease by removing the bacteria's ...
HZI researchers use cryo-electron microscopy to visualize important bacterial transport channel Most bacteria, including many bacterial pathogens, are surrounded by an outer protective layer of sugar ...
Bacteria don’t outnumber our own cells 10 to one, as the old myth went, but we do contain trillions of microroganisms. That these organisms influences us as much — if not more — as we influence them ...
An enzyme antibiotics rely on to kill bacteria also promotes survival of pneumococcus and sets the stage for serious, invasive infections, scientists have discovered. St. Jude Children's Research ...
