Scientists have uncovered how DnaA, the master key to DNA replication, opens the door to bacterial growth. This breakthroughpaves the way for new antibiotics to combat the rising tide of antibiotic ...

Red arrows indicate the DNA repair pathways that are known to aid bacterial survival as persisters and gamblers in the presence of fluoroquinolones. Blue color arrow indicates downregulation, while ...

In all living organisms, DNA replication is essential to ensure the genetic fidelity of the next generation. However, bacteria can also transfer genetic information horizontally to other bacteria.

As more and more bacteria develop resistance to the drugs designed to kill them, a new study has found that even a relatively new antibiotic isn’t immune. Researchers have uncovered a gene ...

Albicidin is a peptide antibiotic that works as a DNA gyrase inhibitor with bactericidal activity towards fluoroquinolone-resistant gram-negative bacteria. 1 DNA gyrase are essential enzymes that work ...

Each living cell grows and divides, thus generating new offspring. This process is also known as the cell cycle. Strictly speaking, it describes a periodic repetition of two coordinated cycles: the ...

Researchers from Pasadena-based California Institute of Technology developed a new test that can pinpoint antibiotic-resistant bacteria within half an hour. The researchers published their findings in ...

A research team at the Hebrew University has shown that bacteria can survive antibiotic exposure via two distinct growth-arrest states – a regulated dormant programme and a disrupted, ...
