Bacteria have evolved diverse immune systems to defend themselves against viral infection. Many of these systems require specific viral triggers for activation, but these triggers and their activation ...

Bacteria can make us sick or keep us alive. A leading scientist says they “talk” using chemical signals. Could silencing their conversations change how we treat deadly infections?

Viruses attack nearly every living organism on Earth. To do so, they rely on highly specialized proteins that recognize and bind to receptors on the surface of target cells, a molecular arms race that ...

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 ...
