In a counterintuitive move, bacteria are known to produce self-destructive toxins. However, they also make antitoxins, and researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have identified ...

Bacteria are always hungry, according to Thomas Wood, Biotechnology Endowed Chair and professor of chemical engineering in the Penn State College of Engineering. If you gave a single bacterium all the ...

Researchers have discovered an antitoxin mechanism that seems to be able to neutralize hundreds of different toxins and may protect bacteria against virus attacks. The mechanism has been named Panacea ...

Toxin–antitoxin systems are two-gene modules widespread across bacterial and archaeal genomes, typically comprising a stable toxin that impairs essential cellular processes and a labile antitoxin that ...

It’s a tragedy whenever a child dies needlessly of a disease that is both preventable and treatable. Sadly, that happens daily around the globe, due mainly to a raft of infectious diseases. One of ...

Researchers discover a new multipurpose on-off switch for inhibiting bacterial growth with a potential application in developing phage therapies against antibiotic resistant bacteria. A team of ...

Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are now known to negatively control plasmid replication, according to Thomas Wood, Biotechnology Endowed Chair and professor of chemical engineering in the Penn State ...
