Scientists assess bacterial growth trajectories to better predict infectious capacity and the conditions that aid proliferation. This article explores the key factors that influence bacterial ...

New study reveals that bacteria can survive antibiotic treatment through two fundamentally different "shutdown modes," not ...

Bacteria are traditionally imagined as single-cell organisms, spread out sparsely over surfaces or suspended in liquids, but in many environments the true bacterial mode of growth is in sticky ...

Researchers conducted a high-throughput growth assay and machine learning to address the genetic and environmental interplay on bacterial growth. The findings indicated that the environmental ...

Many bacteria form an antibiotic-resistant slime. Research detailing that slime's structure could help lead to new treatments. Many bacteria form an antibiotic-resistant slime. Research detailing that ...
