New research has uncovered exactly how the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae has become resistant to the antibiotic penicillin. The same research could also open up MRSA to attack by penicillin ...

Nov 24, 2021: New microscope uses photonics to gain insights into superbugs (Nanowerk News) Scientists are building a new super-resolution microscope that uses laser light to study the inner workings ...

Using a combination of bioinformatics, cryo-electron microscopy (cryoEM) structural characterization, and functional assays, ... PneKC from the bacteria species Streptococcus Pneumonae.

Scientists are using laser light to bring molecular-scale resolution to the study of superbugs such as Streptococcus Pneumoniae, an advance that promises new insights into how they cause disease.

One focus for the project will be the bacteria streptococcus pneumoniae, which can cause bacterial pneumonia, meningitis and sepsis. It is estimated to have caused around 335,000 deaths in ...
