Last fall, more than 100 people in 14 states got sick after eating at McDonald’s. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention traced the outbreak to raw onions on the quarter-pounder hamburger, ...

A recent study published in Engineering has shed light on the transmission and epidemiological trends of tmexCD1-toprJ1-positive Klebsiella pneumoniae across various ecological niches, highlighting ...

Salmonella genomic islands represent large segments of bacterial DNA acquired through horizontal gene transfer that can harbour a multitude of antibiotic resistance genes. These elements, such as ...

Birmingham scientists have identified essential genetic code for a method called plasmid curing, which aims to ‘displace’ antibiotic resistance genes from bacteria. Plasmids, which are small, circular ...

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 ...
