Here, the authors show that immotile bacteria degrade antibiotics to alter their environment and facilitate nearby motile competitors to expand. As expansion proceeds, the immotile degrader is outcomp...

In situ cryo-electron microscopy structures show the spatial arrangement of flagellin proteins and provide insight into mechanisms of assembly and rotation of the sheathed flagellum in Vibrio cholerae...

Bacterial ecospecies are a recently recognized genetic structure that is hypothesized to arise by complex adaptation to a new niche. Coadaptation within the “Molassodon” ecospecies of Vibrio parahaemo...

Heterotrophic bacteria rapidly deplete essential macronutrients during growth and must navigate subsequent periods of growth arrest imposed by starvation. Nutrient limitations can be dynamic in nature...

Commission’s 72-page legal analysis cites examples including scale of killings, aid blockages and forced displacement * Middle East crisis – live updates A UN commission of inquiry concluded on Tuesday that Israel had committed genocide in Gaza and that top Israeli officials including the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, had incited these acts. It cited examples of the scale of the killings, aid blockages, forced displacement and the destruction of a fertility clinic to back up its genocide finding, adding its voice to rights groups and others that have reached the same conclusion.

After a decade of carnage, we finally know what’s devastating sea stars along North America’s West Coast. Does that mean scientists can save them?

Vibrio cholerae, the causative agent of cholera, has triggered seven pandemics, with the seventh pandemic emerging in 1961. The success of seventh pandemic El Tor (7PET) V. cholerae as a human pathogen is linked to its acquisition of mobile genetic ...

Uridine boosts aminoglycoside treatment efficiency against antibiotic-susceptible as well as antibiotic-resistant E. coli strains.

Residents say military gave them 20 minutes to evacuate 15-storey building before attacking, with casualties unclear An Israeli strike has destroyed a high-rise building in Gaza City – the second in as many days – as the military demanded residents move to a so-called humanitarian zone in the south of the territory and slaughtered at least another 56 Palestinians, including aid-seekers. Israel on Saturday issued evacuation warnings for two high-rises in Gaza City and surrounding tents. Avichay Adraee, a military spokesperson, claimed without providing evidence that the buildings were targets because Hamas had infrastructure inside or near them. Soon after, Adraee said that the military had struck one of the buildings. Continue reading...
