In lab experiments, bacteria transferred plasmids with AMR genes in the presence of zinc at reduced or nonexistent rates. Stopping the transfer without killing microbes may help reduce AMR without ...

Incomplete water disinfection may unintentionally accelerate the spread of antibiotic resistance genes in aquatic ...

Bionova Scientific LLC, an Asahi Kasei company and a bespoke contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), announced a strategic manufacturing alliance with Syenex, a genetic medicines ...

A recent study published in Engineering has shed light on the transmission and epidemiological trends of tmexCD1-toprJ1 ...

What are Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)? Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are living organisms whose genetic material (DNA) has been artificially manipulated through genetic engineering ...

DNA vaccines, wherein a new antigen is inserted into a validated vector, have tremendous potential for deployment in pandemic applications as they can be rapidly produced in a validated, ...
