Most bacteria, including many bacterial pathogens, are surrounded by an outer protective layer of sugar molecules, known as a ...

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 ...

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common, but increasingly hard to treat because the bacteria that cause them are developing resistance to many antibiotics. Researchers headed by a team at the ...

The emergence of multi-drug resistance bacteria and healthcare-associated infections are frequent issues in the treatment of suppurating wounds. A group of researchers has created a bactericidal ...

Gram-positive bacteria show blue or purple after Gram-staining in a laboratory test. They have thick cell walls. Gram-negative bacteria show pink or red on staining and have thin walls. They release ...

Scientists at Duke University report they have developed a synthetic antibiotic that could be effective against drug-resistant superbugs and bacteria such as Salmonella, Pseudomonas, and E. coli.

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 ...
