Actinobacteria from Algerian ecosystems as a rich source of bioactive molecules promising for new potential drugs
Secondary metabolites are molecules not essential for the growth and development of microorganism, mainly having a defence role. They have shown a great potential for the discovery of drugs and their study still draws attention to the
Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae: fighting mutants
Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria causing an infection survive after being exposed to a drug that, under normal conditions, would kill it or inhibit its growth. As a result, this surviving strains multiply and spread due to
The distressful life of FtsZ-deprived bacteria
Failure to assemble a division septum occurs in Escherichia coli cells when their supply of FtsZ is blocked. FtsZ, ancestor of eukaryotic Tubulin, is the main component of the divisome, the molecular machinery that drives septation in
