Bacteria Acquiring Resistance from the Enemies
Researchers from the University of Basel have shown that some bacteria inject a toxic cocktail into their competitors causing cell lysis and death, then acquires the released genetic material containing drug resistance genes Antibiotics and resistances have been around for millions of years. Bacteria have developed different abilities to defend themselves from enemies and eliminate competition. One of these defenses is…

Clues of Acute Myeloid Leukemia may Exist years before Analysis
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a type of cancer in which WBC multiply rapidly and abnormally and also show interference in the production of a normal cell. It takes place in the myeloid line of blood cell. Normal cells are replaced by leukemic cells due to which the number of RBC reduces. According to the Researcher, Dr. Pinkal Desai, assistant…
