Researchers conducted a high-throughput growth assay and machine learning to address the genetic and environmental interplay on bacterial growth. The findings indicated that the environmental ...

They cultured six bacterial species in 195 different nutrient environments (media) and profiled their growth, generating 4,680 quantitative indices based on two parameters: growth rate and population ...

Hydrogels are soft, jelly-like materials that can absorb large amounts of water. They are widely used in medical technologies ...

Scientists assess bacterial growth trajectories to better predict infectious capacity and the conditions that aid proliferation. This article explores the key factors that influence bacterial ...

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 ...

Antimicrobial-resistant infections have long been a looming public health threat, and the situation was exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic with increased antibiotic use and fewer prevention ...

The rod-shaped tuberculosis (TB) bacterium, which the World Health Organization has once again ranked as the top infectious disease killer globally, is the first single-celled organism ever observed ...

Researchers have found a bacteriocin that can help inhibit the growth of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Infections with antibiotic-resistant bacteria are a growing global problem. Part of the solution ...

Drugs that act against bacteria are mainly assessed based on how well they inhibit bacterial growth under laboratory conditions. A critical factor, however, is whether the active substances actually ...

Article reviewed by Phoebe Lostroh, PhD from Colorado College. Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. Louis Pasteur prepared the first liquid bacterial culture medium in 1860, ...
