A worldwide consortium of scientists, led by the Earlham Institute and the University of Liverpool, has developed an efficient, inexpensive approach to large-scale bacterial genome sequencing that ...

Bacterial DNA methylation occurs at diverse sequence contexts and plays important functional roles in cellular defense and gene regulation. An increasing number of studies have reported that bacterial ...

Researchers created a tailor-made gene sequencing method to accurately measure a biochemical, DNA tagging system, which switches genes on or off. This helped them study the system in any cell type, ...

Clinical bacteriology relies on the ability to identify cultured isolates. However, unknown isolates are common in hospital settings. Now, researchers at the University of Basel, have established a ...

Our guts are teeming with trillions of bacteria. These bacteria serve vital functions in the body: they aid in carbohydrate digestion, synthesize essential vitamins, and help modulate the function of ...

New method provides high-resolution surveillance data about multiple common antibiotic-resistant bacteria at once and could help prevent the spread of infections. Researchers have developed a new ...

A recent analysis showing that antibiotic-resistant infections were responsible for at least 1.2 million deaths around the world in 2019—a number that could actually reach as high as 5 million and far ...

The 16S rDNA sequencing revealed that the bacterial composition of Edo and modern samples with periodontitis were different. Interestingly, several bacteria observed in modern samples were not ...

An analysis of the bones and teeth of ancient mammoths (Mammuthus) has identified some of the microorganisms that lived in the animals’ mouths and bodies more than one million years ago. The study, ...
