they used a new approach of analysing the genomes of bacteria from human carriers, to highlight exactly how these bacteria adapt in their natural habitat. This revealed key mutations that enable ...

Scientists have discovered a way to control mutation rates in bacteria, paving the way for new strategies to combat antibiotic resistance. Antibiotics are given to kill bad bacteria; however ...

a condition known to spur rapid mutations in bacteria, which increase the odds of drug resistance developing. After analyzing the bacterial genomes for mutational signatures – a technique ...

If bacteria only developed resistance by interacting with phages, there should be no mutations in the tubes. If only a few ...

To determine how effectively gonorrhea bacteria bind to CD33 variants ... Unlike humans living today, all of the Neanderthal and Denisovan genomes possessed the gene encoding CD33 with its binding ...
