Researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN) have recently demonstrated the feasibility of using estrone-linked BODIPYs sonosensitizers for antimicrobial sonodynamic therapy ...

Scientists has found that firmer, lower water content hydrogels limit bacterial growth, with implications for designing antibacterial coatings, infection models, and advanced medical materials.

Scientists assess bacterial growth trajectories to better predict infectious capacity and the conditions that aid proliferation. This article explores the key factors that influence bacterial ...

They cultured six bacterial species in 195 different nutrient environments (media) and profiled their growth, generating 4,680 quantitative indices based on two parameters: growth rate and population ...

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria get extra nutrients and thrive when the drugs kill 'good' bacteria in the gut, according to new research that could lead to better patient risk assessment and 'microbiome ...

Bacteria frozen for thousands of years could hold the key to developing new antibiotics, researchers have found.

A Dartmouth study finds that molecular hitchhikers living within bacteria can make their hosts extra resistant to medical treatment by corralling them into tightly packed groups. The findings ...

Scientists have found that competition between strains of beneficial bacteria in the soil degrades the service that the bacteria provide to their hosts. Plants form alliances with microbes in the soil ...

Hydrogels are soft, jelly-like materials that can absorb large amounts of water. They are widely used in medical technologies ...
