A silicon chip biosensor the size of a grain of sand and developed at the University of Rochester can distinguish Gram-negative from Gram-positive bacteria. According to Benjamin Miller, assistant ...

His work led to the discovery of tyrothricin and gramicidin from Bacillus brevis, which were both potent against gram positive bacteria but were too toxic to use in humans. In 1939, encouraged by ...

Bacilli, another bacteria found in the study, is known for causing food poisoning. However, not all bacteria present were ...

The most important endospore-forming bacteria are members of the genera Bacillus and Clostridium, both of which are Gram-positive rods. An endospore is a dense, multilayered structure that contains ...

Aztreonam–avibactam is a promising treatment for complicated intra-abdominal infections and hospital-acquired or ...

Bacteria that produce lipase will hydrolyze the olive oil and produce a halo around the bacterial growth. The Gram-positive rod, Bacillus subtilis is lipase positive (pictured on the right) The plate ...

† 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 study led by David Sancho at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) in Madrid reveals how an increase in intestinal permeability allows the natural gut bacteria to cross the ...

This finding answers the question of how most bacteria catalyze the first acylation ... given its widespread occurrence in Gram-positive pathogens, it would be of special interest to validate ...

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.
