Researchers from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine), have uncovered how a ...

Researchers have revealed how antimicrobial resistance spreads from gut bacteria to potentially dangerous hospital superbugs.

The problem of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has many health experts worried. As disease-causing bacteria adapt to some of ...

Genes responsible for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) can spread from microbe to microbe through circular genetic material called plasmids, and this lateral transfer occurs in the gut. This week in ...

In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive antibiotic resistance and even shape entire ecosystems. Now an interdisciplinary ...

In lab experiments, bacteria transferred plasmids with AMR genes in the presence of zinc at reduced or nonexistent rates. Stopping the transfer without killing microbes may help reduce AMR without ...

James Chappell, associate professor of biosciences and bioengineering at Rice University. In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, ...

Extracellular appendages on gut bacteria accelerate the transfer of antibiotic-resistance genes. “The death toll from antimicrobial resistance is expected to match cancer by 2050, meaning we urgently ...

CORVALLIS, OREGON, June 4, 2020¬¬--Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists and their Oregon State University (OSU) collaborators have developed a new, highly detailed genetic way to trace the ...
