In the past few decades, many Gram-negative bacteria have acquired multi-drug resistance, compounding the global threat to public health. Many pathogenic bacteria, including those that cause dysentery ...

In an article published in Frontiers in Microbiology, scientists have described the utility of gram-negative bacteria-derived outer membrane vesicles as vaccines and methods to expand their ...

The assembly of outer membrane proteins (OMPs) in Gram-negative bacteria is a fundamental process that underpins bacterial viability and resilience. Central to this process is the β-barrel assembly ...

The Tol-Pal complex maintains bacterial outer membrane (OM) stability by regulating lipid homeostasis. (Left) In Gram-negative bacteria, the OM acts as a protective barrier, blocking entry of harmful ...

For the first time researchers from Newcastle University and the Science and Technology Facilities Council have produced a working model giving access to unprecedented information about the bacteria ...

Microscopy image of a living E. coli bacterium, revealing the patchy nature of its protective outer membrane. A densely packed network of proteins is interrupted by smooth, protein-free islands ...

Gram-negative bacteria possess an outer membrane that constitutes a formidable barrier to antibiotic penetration. This envelope, embedded with porins and other specialised channels, governs the ...

A new study published in the journal Science Advances sheds light on how Gram-negative bacteria like E. coli construct their outer membrane to resemble body armor, which has far-reaching implications ...

Researchers have identified a new bacterial protein that assists in delivering components to the outer membrane of the Gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli. Bacteria are single-celled organisms ...

The process that allows bacteria to expand and grow while maintaining the strength of the cell walls has been identified as offering a potential new target for antibiotics. A new study published in ...

Jackson Ryan was CNET's science editor, and a multiple award-winning one at that. Earlier, he'd been a scientist, but he realized he wasn't very happy sitting at a lab bench all day. Science writing, ...
