A recent study found that antimicrobial sensing coupled with cell membrane remodelling mediates antimicrobial resistance and virulence in Enterococcus faecalis.
Two studies highlight that the growth of genome data and the development of new tools provide further opportunities for understanding the tree of life.
This study reports the feasibility of vaginal microbiome transplantation from healthy donors as treatment for patients suffering from symptomatic, intractable and recurrent bacterial vaginosis.
A study reports the generation of synthetic ‘phagebodies’ with a broadened host range that were able to target naturally occurring phage-resistant bacterial mutants.
This study shows that sublethal doses of ciprofloxacin enhanced aggregation of bacterial cells, which resulted in their increased expulsion from the gut by the mechanical activity of the intestine.
The results of this study further corroborate that the mode of delivery is a crucial factor that shapes the gut microbiota during the neonatal period, with effects that persist into infancy.
This study reports the assembly and seasonal dynamics of bacterial and archaeal microbiomes of the leaf surfaces and the associated soils of switchgrass and miscanthus.
This study reports that the archaeal chromosome is organized into two compartments with differential gene expression activities that are maintained by a novel Sulfolobus-encoded structural maintenance of chromosomes protein.
This study reports a structure of the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) polymerase complex, providing atomic-level insights into transcription and replication of the RSV genome.
