The bacterium Escherichia coli takes about 20 minutes to duplicate in optimal conditions. Biological physicists state that the bacteria are impressively close to the limit…
Infections with multi-drug resistant E. coli, which is also known as ESBL (extended spectrum beta-lactamase), have been assumed to be a hospital phenomenon. A recent…
Pathogenic bacteria without their virulent factors could be rendered harmless and eliminated by the human immune system. That’s the goal that a group of researchers…
By removing a few genes, inserting a gene from another organism and tinkering with the expression of other genes, MIT scientists have discovered a way…
