For Legionella bacteria, taking over a cell means playing by its rules
5+ hour, 9+ min ago (294+ words) Credit: CDC/Martin D. Hicklin, MD GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (Aug. 26, 2026) — When it comes to invading healthy cells, Legionella bacteria rely on blending in rather than breaking in. New research from Van Andel Institute scientists demonstrates how a protein produced by Legionella…...
Emergence of Stutzerimonas nitrititolerans co-carrying carbapenem and tigecycline resistance genes from geese feces in China
6+ hour, 40+ min ago (201+ words) Researchers recovered five multidrug-resistant Stutzerimonas nitrititolerans isolates from 60 geese fecal samples collected at a farm in Yangzhou, China. Genome sequencing showed that all five carried chromosomal tmexC2D2-toprJ2 and blaPST-2 resistance-associated determinants. Across 104 available genomes, complete tmexCD-toprJ clusters were uncommon, and only…...
Ancient Peptides Resurrected from Lactoferrin’s Evolutionary Past Could Point to New Antibiotics
4+ min ago (539+ words) Scientists working their way back through millions of years of the evolutionary past of mammalian lactoferrin reconstructed extinct peptides, some of which in laboratory were more potent against drug-resistant bacteria than present-day counterparts. The post Ancient Peptides Resurrected from Lactoferrin’s…...
