Bacterial infections pose significant challenges to agriculture and medicine, especially as cases of antibiotic-resistant bacteria continue to rise. In response, scientists are elucidating the ways ...

Heme oxygenases are pivotal enzymes that enable pathogenic bacteria to exploit host heme as an essential iron source. By catalysing the oxidative cleavage of heme, these enzymes release iron and ...

Researchers have developed a new antibiotic that reduced or eliminated drug-resistant bacterial infections in mouse models of acute pneumonia and sepsis while sparing healthy microbes in the mouse gut ...

Bacterial pathogenesis, evolution, and genomics intersect critically with the ongoing challenge of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which poses significant ...

An interdisciplinary research team led by the Leibniz-HKI in Jena has discovered a new group of bioactive natural compounds in pathogenic bacteria of the genus Pandoraea: pandorabactins. They enable ...

Humans have long had a love-hate relationship with bacteria. While there are bacterial strains that humans cannot live without, such as those that help us digest our food and bolster our immune ...
