Lipoproteins are essential components of the outer cell membranes of bacteria and play vital roles in bacterial life. These complex structures made of proteins and lipids are synthesized by three ...
New study reveals that bacteria can survive antibiotic treatment through two fundamentally different "shutdown modes," not ...
The Tol-Pal complex maintains bacterial outer membrane (OM) stability by regulating lipid homeostasis. (Left) In Gram-negative bacteria, the OM acts as a protective barrier, blocking entry of harmful ...
In natural environments, bacteria rarely live as free-swimming cells but are attached to surfaces as biofilms in medical devices, mobile phones or human tissue. The bacterial behavior, how they attach ...
Gram-negative bacteria pose a significant threat to global health due to their high resistance to antibiotics compared to that of Gram-positive bacteria. Their formidable defensive capabilities stem ...
Bacteria are a cornerstone of the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, helping produce everything from drugs and beer to biodiesel and fertilizer. The pharmaceutical industry, in particular, relies ...
