A new bioinformatics software program at Flinders University is paving the way for a rapid expansion of research into bacteriophages, the viruses or phages that play key roles in controlling bacteria.

A vital component in many research fields is the ability to measure bacterial growth for fermentation, antibiotic effectiveness, synthetic biology, and food safety. Estimating bacterial growth ...

Bioinformatics and microbial taxonomy experts introduce the challenges of defining bacterial species in an era of rapidly ...

Representative images of antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli strains and the sensitive parental strain (P) from one of three datasets (Dataset 1) are shown. Four lines were isolated from each ...

Northwestern Medicine investigators have identified issues with most genomic sequence data for the Neisseria gonorrhoeae ...
