Soil bacteria make cocktails of molecules that synergistically inhibit the growth of microbial pathogens — suggesting a ...

The biosynthesis of beta-lactam antibiotics centres on the assembly and modification of a four-membered lactam ring fused to a thiazolidine or dihydrothiazine moiety. In filamentous fungi and bacteria ...

There is an urgent need for new antimicrobial strategies to keep pathogens in check. This applies specifically to Gram-negative bacteria, which are protected from antibiotic intervention by a thick ...

When bacteria are under antibiotic attack, it is not "every man for himself." Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and ...

Bacteria can pass proteins between themselves, which induces a dormant state that helps a small group of them survive ...

Discoveries may help to explain why some bacteria are hard to eliminate, and also point to potential future approaches to improving antibiotic effectiveness.
