The first-of-its-kind in-depth bacterial evolutionary map could pave the way for the development of precision treatments for certain antibiotic-resistant infections, such as urinary tract infections.
Bacteria are the most diverse organisms on Earth, with a number of species that’s difficult to quantify. They’re also incredibly old. Bacteria consist of a single cell. They do not have bones and are ...
The genetic culprits responsible for the spread of multidrug resistance (MDR) in bacteria have been identified by new research mapping 100 years of bacterial evolution. Experts at the Wellcome Sanger ...
Biochemists at the University of Wisconsin–Madison are using AI to tackle one of modern medicine's most pressing challenges: ...
Some bacteria evolve like clockwork with the seasons, researchers report. The researchers found that through the course of a year, most individual species of bacteria in Wisconsin’s Lake Mendota ...
In a groundbreaking study, researcher Kostas Konstantinidis has reshaped our understanding of microbial life, challenging the long-standing belief that bacteria do not form distinct species. For years ...
Lines of bacterial genome sequences are made to evolve independently by introducing high-activity insertion sequences, each simulating decades of evolution in the wild in just weeks. The genome ...
A spore is a bacterium’s survival capsule: dried almost solid, wrapped in protein armor and chemical processes shut down.
Bacteria have evolved to adapt to all of Earth's most extreme conditions, from scorching heat to temperatures well below zero. Ice caves are just one of the environments hosting a variety of ...
Evolution of bacterial pathogen populations has been detected in a variety of ways including phenotypic tests, such as metabolic activity, reaction to antisera and drug resistance and genotypic tests ...
Each year, most species of bacteria in a Wisconsin lake rapidly evolved, apparently in response to dramatically changing seasons, and then evolved back. Like Bill Murray in the movie "Groundhog Day," ...
