The Tol-Pal complex maintains bacterial outer membrane (OM) stability by regulating lipid homeostasis. (Left) In Gram-negative bacteria, the OM acts as a protective barrier, blocking entry of harmful ...

Scientists from Cornell University, University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), and elsewhere have found that a surplus of membrane proteins may help bacteria survive antibiotic exposure. These ...

Vancomycin is a common antibiotic used to treat gram-positive bacterial infections. It targets a key building block of the bacterial cell wall called Lipid II, but it can’t reach this lipid in ...

In what they labeled a "surprising" finding, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers studying bacteria from freshwater lakes and soil say they have determined a protein's essential role in maintaining the ...

Researchers at McMaster University have identified manikomycin, a novel antibiotic candidate that attacks a previously ...
