Scientists have developed a new way to fight gum disease without wiping out the mouth’s helpful bacteria—a major shift from traditional treatments. Instead of killing everything, this targeted ...

A technique developed by Politecnico di Milano researchers is enabling scientists to control specific bacterial functions using light-sensitive materials. The Engineering of Bacteria to See Light (EOS ...

Antibacterial resistance is responsible for nearly 1.3 million deaths globally each year; these numbers are projected to rapidly increase to nearly 10 million annually by 2050. As the growing threat ...

Pathogenic bacteria have evolved a variety of mechanisms to thrive within their hosts, even in the face of antibiotic treatment. One particularly effective strategy is the expression of membrane ...

Researchers have discovered that bacterial swarms transition from stable vortices to chaotic turbulence through distinct intermediate states. Combining experiments with bacterial swarms, computer ...
