Light and electron microscopy have distinct limitations. Light microscopy makes it difficult to resolve smaller and smaller ...

The development of nanodrugs targeting multidrug-resistant bacteria, while sparing the beneficial constituents of the microbiome, has emerged as a promising approach to combat disease and curb the ...

A microbe that is associated with good health and found in the lower part of the gut has been comprehensively analyzed and ...

Outer membrane protein TraT protects bacteria from secondary F plasmid conjugation. Here, the authors report cryo-EM structure of decameric cork-like TraT and its evolutionary history as a ...

A microbe found in the lower part of the gut that is associated with good health has been comprehensively analyzed and found to have a focused diet breaking down sugars locked away in mucus, according ...

Light and electron microscopy have distinct limitations. Light microscopy makes it difficult to resolve smaller and smaller features, and electron microscopy resolves small structures, but samples ...

which leads to disruption of the outer cell membrane, leakage of intracellular contents and bacterial death. The most common mechanisms of resistance to colistin are modifications to ...

A recently published study in Nature Microbiology provides an in-depth analysis of Akkermansia muciniphila (AM), a beneficial ...

“We know that AM is a hugely important microbe, and levels of the microbe can be a good indicator of overall health. The bacteria are always beneficial for the gut, and lower levels of it are ...

Beneficial microbe Akkermansia muciniphila plays a key role in gut health A bacterium linked to good health, found in the ...

A major component of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria; an endotoxin. Now implicated as a driver of inflammation and associated with onset of certain diseases. A major component of the ...
