In a recent study published in BMC Microbiology, researchers developed the Novel Organism Verification and Analysis (NOVA) algorithm to systematically analyze bacterial isolates unidentified using ...

Gram-negative bacteria deploy a range of protein toxins as mediators of inter-bacterial competition and pathogenicity. Among these, colicins comprise a class of ribosomally synthesised bacteriocins ...

A team of researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has introduced a virtual Gram staining technique that could transform how microbiologists stain and classify bacteria. This ...

Compared with other urine analysis methods, urine Gram stain has a moderate predictive value for detecting gram-negative bacteria in urine culture but does not significantly improve urinary tract ...

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 ...

Vancomycin is a common antibiotic used to treat gram-positive bacterial infections. It targets a key building block of the bacterial cell wall called Lipid II, but it can’t reach this lipid in ...

A team led by Paul Hergenrother at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has discovered a new antibiotic that exclusively targets gram-negative bacteria and avoids wiping out the ecosystem of ...
