Researchers have discovered how bacteria break through spaces barely larger than themselves, by wrapping their flagella ...

In tight spaces that trap most microbes, one bacterium keeps moving by reconfiguring how it swims, revealing a new biological ...

For over a century, scientists have been fascinated by bacteriophages, the tiny viruses that naturally hunt and kill bacteria. University of Otago researchers are turning to these microscopic ...

In what they labeled a "surprising" finding, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers studying bacteria from freshwater lakes and soil say they have determined a protein's essential role in maintaining the ...

A bacterial cell settles onto a nondescript surface. It is plump, healthy and functioning as it should. Nothing appears amiss ...

Researchers have discovered how bacteria break through spaces barely larger than themselves, by wrapping their flagella around their bodies and moving forward. Using a microfluidic device that mimics ...
