To adapt to changing environmental pressures, bacteria have developed various methods that allow them to uptake exogenous DNA and incorporate it into their own genomes. One of these processes is ...

Researchers have uncovered new details about how bacteria hook up to exchange DNA that helps them resist antibiotics. One of the primary ways harmful bacteria acquire resistance to antibiotics is by ...

Bacteria can sneakily evade our best efforts at eradication by developing resistance to various pressures in their environment, for example, antibiotic-resistant bacteria stubbornly survive the usual ...

Researchers have discovered that reducing the use of antibiotics will not be enough to reverse the growing prevalence of antibiotic resistance because bacteria are able to share the ability to fight ...

Bacteria can sneakily evade our best efforts at eradication by developing resistance to various pressures in their environment. For example, you may ...

Biomedical engineers have demonstrated that at least 25 percent of antibiotic-resistant pathogenic bacteria found in clinical settings are capable of spreading their resistance directly to other ...
