A Trojan-horse strategy selected to fight bacteria |
 ...Researchers at the University of Washington have probably found a way to defeat the bacteria, which become more and more resistant to drugs. A new method of fighting such bacteria was recently used and it proved to be successful on mice.
One of the problems of today's medical researches is the fact that bacteria become more and more resistant to antibiotics. The medicine cannot provide an effective drug to kill all the c... |

Biofilm Bacteria Protect Themselves With Chemical Weapons |
 ...According to the researchers from the Helmholtz Center for Infection Research, they were able to discover the strategies that biofilm bacteria use.
In most cases biofilm bacteria develop in crowds and squat on areas where they create a community with other bacteria. They can develop on any surface to which bacteria can affix to. It is interesting to note that these biofilms cannot be destroyed by any disinfectants and a... |

According to the research paper, in order to map out the evolutionary histories of retroelements scientists used 11 groups of the retroelement proteins, which ranged from bacteria to human HIV.
Researchers used a computer algorithm to create evolutionary profiles that are compared all-against-all. But the new method can not only track the evolutionary histories ... |
