Researchers have determined a protein’s essential role in bacterial envelope structure and function, which could inspire a search for better antibiotics. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University (MD, ...

The Rutgers group of collaborators found that the E. coli genome encodes at least 150 small proteins, most of which are functionally uncharacterized. Small bacterial proteins are defined as having ...

A groundbreaking study by researchers from Wuhan University, York University (UK), and Peking University has uncovered how Escherichia coli (E. coli) persister bacteria survive antibiotics by ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, researchers in the United States of America designed and discovered lolamicin, a selective antibiotic that targets the lipoprotein transport system ...

A team led by Paul Hergenrother at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has discovered a new antibiotic that exclusively targets gram-negative bacteria and avoids wiping out the ecosystem of ...

Researchers have revealed how polymyxins, crucial last-resort antibiotics, break down bacterial armor by forcing cells to overproduce and shed it. Astonishingly, the drugs only kill bacteria when they ...
