The way antibiotics called polymyxins pierce the armour of bacteria has been revealed in stunning detail by high-resolution ...

A new scientific study reveals how life-saving drugs called polymyxins puncture the defenses of harmful bugs. The post Scientists show how antibiotics pierce through bacteria’s armor appeared first on ...

A team led by UCL (University College London) and Imperial College London researchers has shown for the first time how ...

Researchers at EPFL and Vrije Universiteit Brussel have developed a novel and highly efficient method for rapid antibiotic susceptibility testing using optical microscopy. The technique, called ...

Omnipose, a deep learning software, is helping to solve the challenge of identifying varied and miniscule bacteria in microscopy images. It has gone beyond this initial goal to identify several other ...

That is one big bacterium! Researchers have discovered a bacterium visible to the naked eye, challenging prevailing notions about the size of bacteria, most of which only can be seen when using a ...

The University College London and Imperial College London focused on antibiotics called Polymyxin B, which kill harmful Gram-negative bacteria like E. coli. These bacteria are highly difficult to ...

The invention of the microscope allowed scientists to peer into the tiniest of cells. Now, imagine a device that can not just look into minute cells, but can also listen in on their activities. A team ...

Fearless bacteria have colonized extreme environments, adapted to vast temperatures and pH fluctuations, and acclimated to ...
