How do bacteria—harmless ones living in our bodies, or those that cause disease—organize their activities? A new study, ...

This project builds on recent work reporting tick transmission of relapsing fever spirochetes and genome sequencing of both the pathogen and tick vector. We have utilized both next generation and ...

How do bacteria - harmless ones living in our bodies, or those that cause disease - organize their activities? A new study, combining powerful genomic-scale microscopy with a technical innovation, ...

Based on this, we have developed a new approach to enhance the efficiency of rAAV-mediated gene expression. This approach uses co-infection with a transgene-containing vector and a second vector ...

Plasmids naturally exist in bacterial cells, and they also occur ... Researchers can insert DNA fragments or genes into a plasmid vector, creating a so-called recombinant plasmid.

In the microscopic world, bacteria face a similar scenario ... Supplementary Videos 1 and 2 depict cells expressing empty vector or EcZorI exposed to Bas24 MOI 5 for 5 minutes and subsequently ...

"This species of bacteria was already known to pH sense as it must rapidly adjust from the high pH insect gut to the neutral pH of human blood when it's transmitted by its sand fly vector." ...
