His model is the first to theoretically predict how bacteria move in complex environments. "There's great interest in how bacteria spread because they can play a role in everything from infections and ...

As multidrug antibiotic resistance emerges as a potent public health challenge, medical science has renewed attention on the ...

An AI model trained on large amounts of genetic data can predict whether bacteria will become antibiotic-resistant. The new study shows that antibiotic resistance is more easily transmitted between ...

Artificial intelligence has made it possible to design viruses capable of infecting bacteria and multiplying. Of nearly 300 ...

In a recent study, scientists from the department Living Matter Physics at MPI-DS developed a model describing communication pathways in bacterial populations. Bacteria show an overall organizational ...

Bacteria that rarely tumble are likely to get trapped by obstacles, slowing dispersion. Bacteria that tumble frequently often “retrace their steps,” also slowing dispersion. Dispersion is maximized by ...
