Bacterial gene regulation is a finely tuned process essential for cellular adaptation and survival. Central to this regulation are nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs), which not only compact the ...

AI designed new bacteriophages that killed E. coli in lab tests, promising advances but raising safety concerns.

How do bacteria—harmless ones living in our bodies, or those that cause disease—organize their activities? A new study, ...

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 ...
