Iron is well-known for rusting, but this doesn't just happen on contact with oxygen and water. Some bacteria are also able to able to decompose iron anaerobically in a process referred to as ...
Type IV pili are dynamic, filamentous structures that extend and retract from the surface of many bacteria to drive processes essential for cell shape change, surface colonisation and community ...
Researchers have discovered and characterized at the atomic level a mechanism that enables bacterial pathogens—including hospital bacteria Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa—to ...
Extracellular appendages on gut bacteria accelerate the transfer of antibiotic-resistance genes. “The death toll from antimicrobial resistance is expected to match cancer by 2050, meaning we urgently ...
Many bacteria interact with their environment through hair-like structures known as pili, which attach to and help mediate infection of host organisms, among other things. Now a U.S.-Japanese research ...
The discovery shows why it can be so difficult to tackle drug-resistant bacteria, but does provide a possible avenue for tackling the problem. The super-polymer structures the bacteria use to transfer ...

Researchers revealed the atomic-level mechanism bacteria like A. baumannii and P. aeruginosa use to build antibiotic-resistant 3D biofilms, opening new paths to fight multidrug-resistant infections.
