Bacterial plasmid segregation is a critical process that ensures the faithful inheritance of extrachromosomal genetic material during cell division. This intricate process is primarily mediated by ...
Genes responsible for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) can spread from microbe to microbe through circular genetic material called plasmids, and this lateral transfer occurs in the gut. This week in ...
In lab experiments, bacteria transferred plasmids with AMR genes in the presence of zinc at reduced or nonexistent rates. Stopping the transfer without killing microbes may help reduce AMR without ...
Researchers have dived into the pre-antibiotic history of plasmids — one of bacteria’s tools of antimicrobial resistance — to understand how they have facilitated the spread of treatment-resistant ...
Bacterial communities are naturally grouped together, forming a network of shared toxins and antitoxins. Bacteria commonly produce toxins that are lethal to themselves. These bacteria can gain ...

Mysterious chunks of DNA called 'inocles' could be hiding in your mouth
Researchers have discovered giant DNA structures in oral bacteria, and data hint they could influence the function of your ...
Duke University researchers developed a modular platform for producing programmable and synthetic biomolecular condensates (non-membrane bound organelles) with tunable material properties for ...
A new study published in the American Society for Microbiology journal Microbiology Spectrum demonstrates that a novel semi-synthetic compound can be derived from natural compounds to produce potent ...
Russian scientists have created a bacterial strain and a corresponding vaccine for animals that protects simultaneously against salmonellosis and colibacillosis, reports the official website of the ...
