Breaking antibiotic-resistant bacteria's protective capsules: Study offers insights into combating S. pneumoniae
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are a serious public health threat. Understanding the biology of these bacteria—such as how they synthesize their protective capsules—is essential for developing new ...
Researchers uncover new differences in bacteria's sugar coat to aid pneumococcal vaccine development
Many disease-causing bacteria like Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae) are encased in a sugar layer called the capsular polysaccharide (CPS). This layer is often essential for infections. In a ...
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have discovered that an enzyme antibiotics rely on to kill bacteria also promotes survival of pneumococcus and sets the stage for serious, invasive ...
