bacterium

Escherichia coli is a common bacterium which is often harmless but can cause serious infections.

In Ukraine, the NDM-1 resistance gene has shown up in Klebsiella, a rod-shaped bacterium that has emerged as a singular villain.

The new test can be adapted to any bacterium by using bacteriophages and DNA probes that specifically target microbes such as listeria and salmonella.

The safety of mass-produced food has improved dramatically in recent decades, but listeria, a common type of bacterium, presents unique hurdles.

Building on previous work, researchers in ACS Infectious Diseases have demonstrated a potential antibacterial treatment from a modified darobactin, a compound originally from a bacterium.
