Second, the cell walls of gram-negative bacteria are surrounded by an outer membrane that has different properties than the inner membrane encased by the wall. This outer membrane is involved in ...

An electrochemical process developed at Georgia Tech could offer new protection against bacterial infections without contributing to growing antibiotic resistance. The approach capitalizes on the ...

Saccharin destabilizes bacterial membranes and interferes with DNA replication, causing lysis and impairing virulence traits. The sweetener also re-sensitizes multidrug-resistant pathogens to ...

It is derived from the cell membrane of the host cell when the virus buds ... cell walls (bacteria that do not appear violet are referred to as gram-negative). Gram-positive bacteria include the ...

In recent years, researchers have begun to make great progress in understanding how proteins cross or are inserted into the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. Two papers in Science now ...
