Three of these six pathogens are antibiotic-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. Recently, antibacterial drugs against ESBL-producing Gram-negative bacteria accounted for ∼15% (2 out of 13 ...

Most species of bacteria can be broadly divided into two groups, known as gram-positive and gram-negative. These categories reflect big differences in the microbes' biology, and they also dictate ...

Immune cells have difficulty accessing the tumor microenvironment, allowing bacteria to live and grow in and around tumors. Much like the gut microbiome influences general health, bacteria found ...

All patients with suspected Gram-negative endocarditis should undergo transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) to confirm the diagnosis and assess for cardiac complications such as intracardiac ...

This is a test commonly used when trying to identify Gram-negative enteric bacteria, all of which are glucose fermenters but only some of which produce gas. *Note - broth tubes can be made containing ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have uncovered how a molecule found on certain bacteria may drive blood ...

Dr. Melissa Webby of the University of Warwick has received a £2.2 million Wellcome Career Development Award to research the mechanisms that protect Gram-negative bacteria from antibiotics. This award ...

† VIMs are made up of 266 amino acid residues with the exception of VIM-7 (265 residues) and VIM-18 (262 residues). VIM-21, -22 and -27 have been assigned in the Lahey Clinic [201], but there ...

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.
