Newly recovered sheeppox sequences reveal when and how the virus emerged

Applications are invited for an Assistant or Associate Professorship in Pathogen Genetics to be held in the Department of Genetics. We are searching for a talented individual with a track record of fu...

In this research we report on the design and synthesis of a series of fluorene-based derivatives loosely inspired by the tricyclic framework of hipposudoric acid. Preparation of sixteen novel N-alkyl....

A study of the full economic cost of providing undergraduate-level higher education and other qualifications in England.

Maset et al. show that bladder conditions strongly influence how urinary tract infections respond to antibiotics and bacteriophages, highlighting the need for more realistic lab models to improve diag...

The slow growth displayed by Mycobacterium tuberculosis has been historically associated with pathogen’s persistence and drug tolerance. Unexpectedly, here the authors identify a rare subpopulation of...

Sightings and DNA tests suggest that large cats such as black leopards are quietly naturalising in Britain. Here’s the whole story.

Abstract. For many students eager to pursue a career within the life sciences, the transition from education to employment is marked by uncertainty and fragmentation. This comes as a result of a lack ...

Antibiotic resistance and the microbiome are two of the most prominent and highly active research areas currently in microbiology. However, these studies are commonly siloed. Research into antibiotic ...

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a complex and rapidly evolving global health challenge that requires well-trained professionals within a One Health framework. However, AMR education remains fragment...

England is on track to become one of the first countries in the world to eliminate hepatitis C, a dangerous virus that attacks the liver, figures show.

Abstract. Plants outsource many functions to an associated microbiome, an ‘outside gut’ composed of socially interacting bacterial communities that support plant growth and health. These dynamic and d...

Abstract. Extracellular nucleic acids (eNA) are ubiquitous components of bacterial biofilms, contributing to structural integrity, antimicrobial resistance, and immune evasion. While traditionally vie...

Abstract. Horizontal gene transfer, mediated by mobile genetic elements such as conjugative plasmids, is recognised as a major driver of bacterial innovation. While predominantly explored in the conte...

Abstract. Antimicrobial peptide research has long centred on host defence molecules, yet microbiomes themselves encode a diverse and increasingly important repertoire of peptide-based antimicrobials. ...

Abstract. Although the study of microbes started with type strains and reference genomes, advances in sequencing technology and new interest in mixed microbial communities have made us aware that a si...
