Discovery of controlled swarm in bacteria
A study led by researchers from UAB describes one of the mechanisms in which pathogenic bacteria populations control the way they spread over the surface of the organs they infect and stop when they detect the presence of an antibiotic, only to resume again when the effect wears off....
Infection inducing mechanism found in bacteria
A research appearing in Nature, with the participation of doctors Susana Campoy and Jordi Barbé from the Department of Genetics and Microbiology at UAB, demonstrates that bacteria have a surprising mechanism to transfer virulent genes causing infections. The research...
Antibiotic Resistance Mechanism in Bacteria Revealed
The perturbation of genetic material replication in bacteria induces a cellular response (known as SOS) which generates the recombination of chromosomes and the collection, expansion and expression of a family of mobile genetic elements known as integrons, which are...
