Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are now known to negatively control plasmid replication. Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are now known to negatively control plasmid replication, according to Thomas Wood, ...

Plasmids, small circular DNA molecules found in bacteria, may contain antibiotic-resistance genes and have the ability to replicate independently. Bacteria can transfer these plasmids to one another, ...

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 ...

S. aureus has been identified as a common secondary bacterial coinfection agent for different respiratory viruses. Several investigations have revealed that coinfection with the influenza A virus (IAV ...

MADISON - A failed experiment turned out to be anything but for bacteriologist Marcin Filutowicz. As he was puzzling out why what should have been a routine procedure wouldn't work, he made a ...
