they are located near the origin of DNA replication. Accordingly, their position influences how their activity changes with the growth rate. Are genes distributed randomly along the bacterial ...

Bioinformaticians have established that the genes in bacterial genomes are arranged in a meaningful order. They describe that the genes are arranged by function: If they become increasingly important ...

A novel antibiotic recently approved for treatment of urinary tract infections also shows efficacy against gonorrhea, ...

EAGLE-1 trial data shows gepotidacin’s potential in treating gonorrhoea, for which no new antibiotics have been approved ...

Gepotidacin is a new oral antibacterial treatment with the potential to become an alternative option for treating infections.

Saccharin, a common artificial sweetener, has been found to combat multidrug-resistant bacteria by disrupting DNA replication and preventing biofilm f ...

Engineers and biologists at Dartmouth College have found that, just like word order affects meaning in a sentence, the ...

Study: Saccharin disrupts bacterial cell envelope stability and interferes with DNA replication dynamics. Image Credit: Tatjana Baibakova / Shutterstock A recent study published in the journal ...

The international team found that saccharin both stops bacterial growth and disrupts DNA replication and stops the bacteria from forming biofilms – sticky, protective layers that help them survive ...
