Last year, APW science students put BioSpherix Xvivo Ed® to use in Bio 103, designed to enhance classroom experiments and offer an ideal entry point into real-world lab ...
A Dartmouth College research team has reported that plasmids can force bacteria to form dense clusters in order to tolerate antibiotics which suggests a source of treatment failure that does not ...
Genes responsible for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) can spread from microbe to microbe through circular genetic material called plasmids, and this lateral transfer occurs in the gut. This week in ...
Researchers in the Blavatnik Institute at Harvard Medical School have just opened a new window into understanding the development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria. The work not only reveals ...
New workflow validated on Dynamic Devices Lynx® delivers scalable plasmid DNA extraction from Midi to Maxi-prep volumes ...
In lab experiments, bacteria transferred plasmids with AMR genes in the presence of zinc at reduced or nonexistent rates. Stopping the transfer without killing microbes may help reduce AMR without ...
The survival strategies put forward by the researchers hint at a powerful mechanism which might explain the key mechanisms behind the spread of antimicrobial resistance. ©2025 Ono et al. CC-BY ...
