Researchers discovered lariocidin, a lasso peptide antibiotic that kills multidrug-resistant bacteria by binding a novel ...

A natural antibacterial molecule shows clinical promise. Its unusual binding site is on an excellent target: ...

In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive antibiotic resistance and even shape entire ecosystems. Now an interdisciplinary ...

to "barcode" ribosomal RNA (rRNA) inside living cells. By writing genetic information directly into the 16S rRNA - a molecule universally found in bacteria - the researchers could track which microbes ...

the Bonn researchers have now investigated internal ribosomal entry sites (IRESes). These are specialized, folded sequences within an RNA strand that are particularly well known in the genetic ...

They performed targeted PCR amplification followed by sequencing to analyze the chlamydial 23S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) locus and qPCR was used to detect gonococcal DNA in residual diagnostic swab eluates ...

Microbial community analysis based on the 16S rRNA-gene is used to investigate both beneficial and harmful microorganisms in various fields and environments. Recently, the next-generation sequencing ...

The dual ribosome setting at the level of ribosomal RNA genes represents an extreme case of sequence heterogeneity and appears to be sporadic in nature in that it only is reported from Plasmodium and ...
