S. aureus has been identified as a common secondary bacterial coinfection agent for different respiratory viruses. Several investigations have revealed that coinfection with the influenza A virus (IAV ...
As antibiotic-resistant infections rise and are projected to cause up to 10 million deaths per year by 2050, scientists are looking to bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, as an alternative.
Scientists have uncovered how DnaA, the master key to DNA replication, opens the door to bacterial growth. This breakthroughpaves the way for new antibiotics to combat the rising tide of antibiotic ...
BioRxiv (2023) PubMed PMID: 37546940; PubMed Central PMCID: PMC10402079. The mammalian innate immune system uses cyclic GMP–AMP synthase (cGAS) to synthesize the cyclic dinucleotide 2′,3′-cGAMP during ...
As antibiotic-resistant infections rise and are projected to cause up to 10 million deaths per year by 2050, scientists are looking to bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, as an alternative.
As the number of antibiotic-resistant infections continues to rise, scientists are looking to bacteriophages (“phages”), viruses that infect bacteria, as an approach to tackling antibiotic resistance.
A new study reveals that certain locations of DNA are copied faster than others, which could also have an effect on mutation rate. Cell division is fundamental for life, allowing organisms to grow, ...
