Drug-resistant bacteria flaunt their curves

Researchers have found that applying deep learning to electron microscope images can distinguish drug-resistant bacteria from non-resistant bacteria with high accuracy. This new approach could lead to ...

Electrochemical signals can reshape bacterial protein patterns, boosting electron transfer

Sometimes, transporting electrons from one cell to another is a team effort. In electroactive bacteria, that team is a group ...
