Programmable cell‑like particles seek out drug‑resistant bacteria, inject lethal payloads, and spare beneficial microbes.

Antibiotic resistance is a growing concern. According to the CDC, more than 2.8 million antimicrobial-resistant infections occur each year. Now, a team of researchers has discovered a new group of ...

Gram-negative bacteria deploy a range of protein toxins as mediators of inter-bacterial competition and pathogenicity. Among these, colicins comprise a class of ribosomally synthesised bacteriocins ...

While we may think of some bacteria as friendly and others as pathogenic, the situation can become very complex. Not only can particular strains of the same microbial species be very different - like ...

Marcos de Moraes, center, with his lab team at Rice University. When bacteria battle for survival, they do so with microscopic precision. Some produce toxins that target rival microbes, shaping not ...

Life-forms with no brain are capable of some astounding things. It might sound like sci-fi nightmare fuel, but some bacteria can wage kamikaze chemical warfare. Pathogenic bacteria make us sick by ...

And sometimes manufacturers will add carcinogenic formaldehyde or other preservatives to new clothing, Khetarpal noted. It’s ...
