DNA molecules called plasmids -- some of which protect bacteria from antibiotics -- can spread rapidly through bacterial 'communities' that are treated with antibiotics, new research shows. DNA ...

Genes responsible for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) can spread from microbe to microbe through circular genetic material called plasmids, and this lateral transfer occurs in the gut. This week in ...

In lab experiments, bacteria transferred plasmids with AMR genes in the presence of zinc at reduced or nonexistent rates. Stopping the transfer without killing microbes may help reduce AMR without ...

Earthworms remove 70-95 percent of antibiotic resistance genes from farm manure, making safer fertilizer for crops.

Under the agreement, Bionova will serve as the preferred manufacturing partner for Syenex’s best-in-class delivery platforms.

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 ...

DNA vaccines, wherein a new antigen is inserted into a validated vector, have tremendous potential for deployment in pandemic applications as they can be rapidly produced in a validated, ...
