Scientists assess bacterial growth trajectories to better predict infectious capacity and the conditions that aid proliferation. This article explores the key factors that influence bacterial ...

Researchers have found that machine learning can be used to examine the relationship between bacterial population growth and environmental factors. The research reveals that the different population ...

Researchers have found a bacteriocin that can help inhibit the growth of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Infections with antibiotic-resistant bacteria are a growing global problem. Part of the solution ...

A vital component in many research fields is the ability to measure bacterial growth for fermentation, antibiotic effectiveness, synthetic biology, and food safety. Estimating bacterial growth ...

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria get extra nutrients and thrive when the drugs kill ‘good’ bacteria in the gut. This is according to new research led by Imperial College London scientists, which could ...

The rod-shaped tuberculosis (TB) bacterium, which the World Health Organization has once again ranked as the top infectious disease killer globally, is the first single-celled organism ever observed ...

University of Warwick scientists has found that firmer, lower water content hydrogels limit bacterial growth, with implications for designing antibacterial coatings, infection models, and advanced ...

Drugs that act against bacteria are mainly assessed based on how well they inhibit bacterial growth under laboratory conditions. A critical factor, however, is whether the active substances actually ...

The researchers analysed the DNA of microorganisms in stool samples, and evaluated the data using bioinformatics tools. Credit: Anna Schroll, Leibniz-HKI The researchers analysed the DNA of ...

The group of bacteria called Enterobacteriaceae, including Klebsiella pneumoniae, Shigella, E. coli and others, is present at low levels as part of a healthy human gut microbiome. But at high ...
