A look at the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and how to keep safe from "superbugs." Learn about the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and how to keep safe from ‘superbugs’; discover how ...
In a new study published in Advanced Functional Materials ("Light Controlled Biohybrid Microbots"), scientists from Sapienza Universitá di Roma demonstrate biohybrid microbots that harness living ...
These self-propelling microscopic particles use tailor-made viruses to recognize specific bacteria strains. The viruses bind to matching bacteria to form unique sandwich structures that are then ...
Nanotechnology and molecular biology are combined to develop diagnostic tools for doctors. Dr. Fatima AlZahra’a Alatraktchi, adjunct professor at Roskilde University and founder of PreDiagnose, speaks ...
Mark Blaskovich receives funding from a range of government, not-for-profit and commercial organisations for research into antibiotic discovery and development. He is affiliated with AAMRNet ...
There are two main types of bacteria, and these categories reflect the microbes' biology and their vulnerability to different antibiotics. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...
Gram staining is one way scientists can identify bacteria. Gram-positive bacteria, such as Staphylococcus, appear blue or purple under a microscope when scientists apply a stain. Conversely, ...
