Bacterial species, and even specific strains can be differentiated using a number of molecular techniques such as PCR, quantitative PCR, genome sequencing and mass spectrometry. But even without ...

Gram-negative bacteria pose a significant threat to global health due to their high resistance to antibiotics compared to that of Gram-positive bacteria. Their formidable defensive capabilities stem ...

In a recent study, researchers demonstrated that a novel compound could treat flesh-eating Gram-positive bacterial infections in mice, potentially offering a new class of antibiotics. Researchers at ...

Researchers are calling for an urgent overhaul of diagnostic and treatment guidelines for infections in newborn babies, after ...

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis developed a novel compound that effectively clears Gram-positive bacterial infections in mice, in particular skin and soft tissue ...

Gram-negative bacteria are practically built to withstand drugs, which is one reason few drug makers have rushed to pursue treatments. The bacteria have a double cell membrane to shield them, compared ...

Gram staining is a type of differential staining used to distinguish between Gram positive and Gram negative bacterial groups, based on inherent differences in their cell wall constituents. Stains ...

Alterations to the respiratory microbiome have been identified as a predisposing factor of interstitial lung diseases (ILD). In a new study, researchers studied the influence of bacterial virulence on ...

OBJECTIVE: To describe survival following nosocomial bloodstream infections and quantify excess mortality associated with positive blood culture. STUDY DESIGN: Multicenter cohort study of premature ...

Bacterial species, and even specific strains can be differentiated using a number of molecular techniques such as PCR, quantitative PCR, genome sequencing and mass spectrometry. But even without ...
