Scientists have uncovered how DnaA, the master key to DNA replication, opens the door to bacterial growth. This breakthroughpaves the way for new antibiotics to combat the rising tide of antibiotic ...

Red arrows indicate the DNA repair pathways that are known to aid bacterial survival as persisters and gamblers in the presence of fluoroquinolones. Blue color arrow indicates downregulation, while ...

Transposons are critical drivers of bacterial evolution that have been studied for many decades and have been the subject of Nobel Prize winning research. Now, researchers from Cornell University have ...

Researchers from Durham University, Jagiellonian University (Poland) and the John Innes Centre have achieved a breakthrough in understanding DNA gyrase, a vital bacterial enzyme and key antibiotic ...

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American DNA is important stuff. It's present in all ...

Researchers showed that the way in which genes are turned on and off as bacteria grow provide clues to their regulation. Bacterial infections cause millions of deaths each year, with the global threat ...
