In bacteria, mutations in plasmids can accumulate surprisingly fast. What does this mean for us humans, who have to fight with these new antibiotic resistant strains? Now, say that a few days ...

Scientists have discovered a way to control mutation rates in bacteria, paving the way for new strategies to combat ...

The findings show that the initial discovery is repeated for multiple antibiotics that target bacteria and even yeast. Spontaneous mutations fuel evolution, but when that mutation leads to something ...

Researchers have found a magnesium-dependent weakness in resistant bacteria, offering a pathway for drug-free treatments ...
