Polymicrobial biofilms are frequently associated with chronic infections and are highly tolerant to antibiotic treatment. Given that β-lactam antibiotics are the most prescribed antibiotics worldwi...

Names matter; they are not mere labels. They operate as anchors of memory, social coordinates, and references of collective identity. When a name becomes established through long-term use and broad ad...

The Bikard lab at Institut Pasteur in Paris is seeking to hire postdoctoral researchers. We are investigating bacteria / bacteriophages interactions, and the genetic innovation that happens at this in...

Applications are invited for a professorial appointment to be based in the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology (MIB) at the University of Manchester (UoM). The successful candidate will join a dynamic research environment at an exciting time and will help shape the institute research priorities and national/international profile. We are open to high quality applications from across the broad engineering biology and biotechnology landscape. Specific areas of interest include but are not limited to chemical biology of disease related proteins, natural product biosynthesis and enzyme discovery; structural biology and mechanistic enzymology; and microbial engineering.

Bacteria interact with both abiotic and biotic factors in their environment. Quorum sensing (QS) is one mechanism that bacteria use to communicate with other bacteria and coordinate behaviors in the p...

The airways of people with cystic fibrosis (CF) are often co-infected by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and a variety of other co-habiting microbes; the infections are polymicrobial. P. aeruginosa isolates fr...

Key message Volatile organic compounds produced by plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria promote lateral root development by modulating the auxin signaling pathway in Arabidopsis thaliana, thereby remo...

Lucy Shapiro received this year’s Lasker Special Achievement Award for her discovery of how bacteria use genetic circuits to encode three-dimensional cellular life.

Opposing forces generated by exopolysaccharide trail binding versus type IV pilus retraction generate a high cyclic diGMP–high cyclic AMP state in Pseudomonas aeruginosa that promotes social motility.
