The process of bacterial transformation involves the introduction of foreign plasmid DNA into a bacterial cell. The transformation of DNA into bacteria cells, for example, Escherichia coli (E. coli), ...

A Dartmouth study finds that molecular hitchhikers living within bacteria can make their hosts extra resistant to medical ...

Plasmid DNA isolation is an important technique in molecular biology, however, achieving effective high-throughput automation of this method has proven to be challenging. Analytik Jena and SynbiCITE ...

DNA molecules called plasmids -- some of which protect bacteria from antibiotics -- can spread rapidly through bacterial 'communities' that are treated with antibiotics, new research shows. DNA ...

The problem of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has many health experts worried. As disease-causing bacteria adapt to some of our ways to reduce them, especially with antibiotics, it presents an arms ...
