Cameroonian microbiologist Luria Founou uses genomics to track how drug-resistant bacteria move between mothers, newborns and hospitals, and to find ways to stop them.

In the classic “run-and-tumble” movement pattern, bacteria swim forward (“run”) in one direction and then stop to rotate and reorient themselves in a new direction (“tumble”). During experiments where ...

Bacteria can begin to transfer to food dropped on the floor in less than one second, according to research from New Brunswick, N.J.-based Rutgers University, effectively disproving the so-called “five ...

Bacteria move about in uncounted ways, but one of the most common forms of cellular locomotion boils down to little more than wildly flailing appendages and other such flagella. Researchers at UCLA ...

A new study published this week found that infections of a type of "flesh-eating bacteria" have been on the rise in the Eastern US, thanks in part to climate change. The analysis, published Thursday ...
