While scientists have studied how bacteria move toward food using a chemical radar known as chemotaxis, they have only watched single species swim in isolated environments over distances of only a few ...

An international collaboration led by researchers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, the Malawi Liverpool Wellcome Program, and others explored the transmission ...

Researchers at Peking University in Beijing have developed a battery-less brush that destroys bacteria by generating its own ...

Scientists are studying how bacteria move across surfaces -- a process known as twitching motility. New findings led to the surprising discovery of the key role surface properties play in either ...

Bacteria move about in uncounted ways, but one of the most common forms of cellular locomotion boils down to little more than wildly flailing appendages and other such flagella. Researchers at UCLA ...

A new study published this week found that infections of a type of "flesh-eating bacteria" have been on the rise in the Eastern US, thanks in part to climate change. The analysis, published Thursday ...
