A Université de Montréal study has found a previously unknown mechanism in bacterial reproduction that could be attacked by future antibiotics. Bacteria reproduce by dividing into two: they form a ...

When antibiotics attack microbes, their stressed neighbors ship them proteins to help them survive, new work suggests. Bacteria share DNA related to antibiotic resistance through a process called ...

Competitive Exam explainers | Science and Technology: Antimicrobial resistance is emerging as one of the world's gravest ...

Researchers at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) have imaged a heritable form of bacterial symbiosis inside the reproductive system of tiny crustaceans known as ostracods. The study is published ...

New research shows bacteria form distinct species and maintain cohesion through frequent DNA exchange via homologous recombination. When Kostas Konstantinidis proved that many microbes -- like plants ...
