Temporary block on grant applications by MRC, BBSRC and EPSRC heightens concerns over funding cuts

Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) and the interactions between them are a major source of evolutionary innovation. Insertion sequences, the simplest MGEs usually encoding only the necessary genes for tra...

AbstractAims. This study aimed to determine the antibiofilm properties of Klebsiella pneumoniae phages previously isolated from Thai hospital sewage water.

Broad-host-range IncA and IncC conjugative plasmids propagate multidrug resistance in bacteria and mobilize chromosomal resistance islands, including Salmonella Genomic Island 1 (SGI1) across genera. ...

Structural and single-molecule analyses show the CTPase, KorB, is a sliding DNA clamp that interacts with a clamp-locking protein KorA to inhibit gene expression over distances of more than 1 kb in th...

Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli O104:H4 is best known for causing a worldwide outbreak in 2011 due to the acquisition of a Shiga-like toxin alongside traditional enteroaggregative virulence traits;...

Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC), a leading cause of urinary tract infections, sepsis and neonatal meningitis, circulates between diverse hosts and the environment. Consequently, id...

The growth of wildlife tourism coupled with continued deforestation has resulted in increased contact between non-human primates (NHPs) and humans. Such events may promote the transmission of potentia...

I'm hiring a microbiologist to support various projects related to the eco-epidemiology and virulence of neglected vector-borne bacteria.

AbstractAims. Klebsiella michiganensis is a medically important bacterium that has been subject to relatively little attention in the literature. Interroga

Subscription and open access journals from Sage, the world's leading independent academic publisher.

Our work addresses two processes, the maintenance of plasmids and antibiotic tolerance; both contribute to the development of antimicrobial resistance in bacteria that cause human disease. Here, we fo...

This exciting BBSRC-funded project aims to mechanistically characterise the fitness costs associated with vancomycin resistance in the Gram-positive opportunistic pathogens Enterococcus faecalis and E...

The gut microbiota-brain axis has been associated with the pathogenesis of numerous disorders, but the mechanism(s) underlying these links are generally poorly understood. Accumulating evidence ind...
