No matter how much they brush their teeth, some people still get more cavities than others, in part because of differences in genetics and the make-up of the microbes in their mouths. A new study has ...

When bacteria are under antibiotic attack, it is not "every man for himself." Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and colleagues from collaborating institutions have discovered that bacterial ...

Natural transformation is a form of horizontal gene transfer by which bacteria internalise free DNA from their surroundings and integrate it into their genomes through homologous recombination. This ...
