Viruses known as “jumbo phage” are a new hope against the rising antibacterial infection crisis. Researchers have discovered ...

When exposed to antibiotics, approximately one out of every 10 8 -10 9 bacteria develops resistance due to spontaneous ...

Antibiotic resistance is a global health challenge that could overtake cancer mortality within a few decades. In a new study, ...

"When phages infect a bacterial cell, the EPI vesicle protects the genome of the ... we can have a range of phage therapy applications." Armbruster identified curious DNA "dots" within infected ...

This important study analyzes the effect of heat treatment on phage-bacterial interactions and convincingly shows that prior heat exposure alters the bacterial cell envelope, enhancing persistence and ...

Antibiotic resistance is a global health challenge that could overtake cancer mortality within a few decades. In a new study, researchers show that the emergence of resistance can be understood in the ...

A key to antibiotic resistance might be the use of viruses to kill bacteria, however, the systems that bacteria employ to defense themselves against viruses are unknown. Understanding these systems ...

Scientists insert variable DNA sequences coding for their proteins of interest into plasmids that carry a phage coat protein gene ... its coat protein and carries its genetic sequence in its genome.

Their potential as antibacterial agents was appreciated almost immediately, with the first 'phage therapy' trials predating Fleming's discovery of penicillin by approximately a decade. In this ...
