Overuse of antibiotics is currently the primary reason for the rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Researchers at the ...

Eventually, new bacteriophages assemble and burst out of the bacterium in a process called lysis. Bacteriophages occasionally remove a portion of their host cells' bacterial DNA during the ...

When the bacterial cell eventually succumbs, it explodes into a flood of new phages in a process called lysis. Millions of these events happening simultaneously produce a constant supply of a ...

This article discusses the mechanisms of bacterial transduction and how scientists can utilize it to manipulate bacterial ...

Viruses in the lytic pathway kill and lyse their host bacterial cell, but in the lysogenic cycle, the phage integrates its genetic material into the bacterial genome and keeps its host alive.

Study shows predatory bacteria Myxococcus xanthus in soil communities drives antimicrobial resistance through microbial ...

Blood agar is a rich, non-selective medium that supports the growth of most bacteria. However, it is differential based on the ability of the organism to produce enzymes called hemolysins, which lyse ...
