By forming oscillating patterns between the ends of a cell (poles), the Min protein system provides protection against ...

New research has connected toxins produced by E. coli bacteria to the types of colorectal cancer tumors more likely to affect ...

The Min protein system prevents abnormal cell division in bacteria, but is poorly understood. Researchers have uncovered how engineered e.coli bacteria control protein levels for maximum efficiency.

The study, published April 23 in Nature, found that a toxin called colibactin, produced by certain strains of E. coli that live in the colon and rectum, is capable of altering DNA. The researchers ...

According to the Fond du Lac Fire and Rescue Department, the man tried to light a fire pit with some gasoline being poured from a can onto some cardboard. A man is recovering at a hospital after ...

It's a major blow to a keenly anticipated programme that aimed to tackle the huge public health problem of extraintestinal pathogenic E coli (ExPEC), which is estimated to cause around 10 million ...

LBP-EC01 is a bacteriophage ‘cocktail’ that has been modified using CRISPR/Cas3 gene-editing to improve its ability to target the E coli genome. Lab studies have demonstrated it is ...

Scientists have discovered that early childhood E. coli colon cancer connections may be stronger than previously understood. A groundbreaking study published in Nature reveals that exposure to ...
