A team of researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has introduced a virtual Gram staining technique that could transform how microbiologists stain and classify bacteria. This ...

Gram-negative bacteria deploy a range of protein toxins as mediators of inter-bacterial competition and pathogenicity. Among these, colicins comprise a class of ribosomally synthesised bacteriocins ...

Researchers have developed a new antibiotic that reduced or eliminated drug-resistant bacterial infections in mouse models of acute pneumonia and sepsis, while sparing healthy microbes in the mouse ...

Researchers have determined a protein’s essential role in bacterial envelope structure and function, which could inspire a search for better antibiotics. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University (MD, ...

Gram-negative bacteria, notorious for their intrinsic and acquired resistance mechanisms, pose a significant threat to public health. The emergence of ...

“It’s genuinely surprising that the add-on gives vancomycin any ability at all to hit gram negatives,” says Kim Lewis, an ...

• Require X (hemin) and/or V (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) factors for growth • Responsible for 0.5–1% of all cases of IE • Haemophilus aphrophilus is the most common species responsible for IE ...

A team led by Paul Hergenrother at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has discovered a new antibiotic that exclusively targets gram-negative bacteria and avoids wiping out the ecosystem of ...

Researchers have developed a new antibiotic that reduced or eliminated drug-resistant bacterial infections in mouse models of acute pneumonia and sepsis while sparing healthy microbes in the mouse gut ...

Expert Rev Anti Infect Ther. 2010;8(8):879-885. We recommend a thorough evaluation of patients with non-HACEK Gram-negative endocarditis to assess the necessity of surgical intervention. Decision to ...
