The problem of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has many health experts worried. As disease-causing bacteria adapt to some of our ways to reduce them, especially with antibiotics, it presents an arms ...
Scientists have identified essential genetic code for a method called plasmid curing, which aims to 'displace' antibiotic resistance genes from bacteria. Birmingham scientists have identified ...
We have some tools to control bacteria, like antibiotics, but antibiotic resistance is a growing problem that is a threat to public health. Bacterial cells can easily cooperate, which can really help ...

A Dartmouth study finds that molecular hitchhikers living within bacteria can make their hosts extra resistant to medical treatment by corralling them into tightly packed groups. The findings ...
How does antimicrobial resistance spread from gut bacteria to potentially dangerous hospital superbugs? New research reveals all. Researchers from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National ...
The term “plasmid” was coined by Joshua Lederberg in 1952 to describe extrachromosomal genetic elements observed during studies of bacterial conjugation and antibiotic resistance. Their transformation ...
New research models plasmid competition in E. coli, with implications for biotechnology, antibiotics, and probiotics.
