Scientists have found that disease-causing bacteria carry antibiotic resistance genes that are dormant as a result of a genetic mutation. During screening, the bacteria appear susceptible to antibiotics.

'Wolves in sheep's clothing' – the superbugs outsmarting lab tests

Hospital screening tests are failing to identify the true extent of microbial resistance, according to new research.

Scientists have developed a new technique to trick bacteria into revealing hundreds of holes in their cell walls, opening the door for drugs that destroy bacteria’s cells.

'Tricked' bacteria open new pathways to antimicrobial treatments

Scientists have developed a new technique to trick bacteria into revealing hundreds of holes in their cell walls, opening the door for drugs that destroy bacteria’s cells.

This image shows the process of peptide co assembly. The image is a graphic on a grey background with blue and red figures to indicate the process.

Understanding how peptides self-assemble

Scientists have developed an integrated computational and experimental approach to investigate the way proteins and peptides – chains of amino acids – aggregate.

This image is a visualisation of the BRISC-SHMT2 protein, created by Jeroen Claus from Phospho Biomedical Animation. It shows a blue, orange and black model on a white background with flecks of gold.

New regulator of immune responses discovered

Scientists have identified a new internal regulator that helps control the body’s response to fight infection.
