Experts have developed a ground-breaking software, which combines DNA sequencing and machine learning to help them find where, and to what extent, antibiotic resistant bacteria is being transmitted ...

Researchers have figured out a way to predict bacteria’s environmental pH preferences from a quick look at their genomes, using machine learning. Led by experts at the University of Colorado Boulder, ...

Bacterial identification can take hours and often longer -- precious time when diagnosing infections and selecting appropriate treatments. There may be a quicker, more accurate process. By teaching a ...

Many everyday chemicals can damage beneficial gut bacteria and potentially fuel antibiotic resistance, prompting calls to ...

University of Queensland scientists have helped to construct a detailed timeline for bacterial evolution, suggesting some bacteria used oxygen long before evolving the ability to produce it through ...

Antibiotic resistance is turning routine infections into life threatening events, and the traditional pipeline for new drugs ...

We have to share the world with microbes; they can grow almost anywhere, from hydrothermal vents deep in the sea to the human body. Many of the bacteria in the world have no impact on people. But some ...
