Marine bacteria are key to determining whether carbon is recycled near the ocean surface or transported to deeper waters, but ...

As antibiotic-resistant bacteria threaten global health, Hebrew University scientists use innovative method to discover PreS, ...

As antibiotic-resistant infections rise and are projected to cause up to 10 million deaths per year by 2050, scientists are ...

Discover how a tiny RNA molecule serves as a molecular switch in viral infections, providing insights into phage biology.

Results from a new study are providing new insights into the therapeutic potential of bacteriophage (phage) therapy for treating diseases like cystic fibrosis (CF). Results from a new Dartmouth-led ...

Research revealed how bacteriophages use a tiny piece of genetic material to hijack bacterial cells and make more copies of themselves.

Scientists engineered phages to act as scaffolds to carry silver nanoparticles. Together, the two bacteria-killing components were more potent than either one alone.

Figure 1: The concept of hyperphage: a gene pIII-deleted helper phage with wild-type infection phenotype. Despite lower production yield than shown for M13KO7 helper phage, the hyperphage titer can be ...

Although whole phage continue to generate interest as an alternative to antibiotics, focus is shifting to the use of purified phage components as antibacterial agents. When phages were first ...

On the evening of Nov. 7, Steffanie Strathdee sent out a cryptic tweet: “#Phage researchers! I am working with a team to get Burkholderia cepacia phages to treat a 25 y old woman with CF whose ...

In the early and mid-1980s, scientists used phages to express recombinant proteins. The protein was retained inside the virions, so screening required growing viral plaques, creating a stamp of these ...

Some years before Joseph Bunevacz came to America, and decades before he got sick, he taught the Beatles how to ski. Or so he told me when I visited him at his home, on the arid northeastern slopes of ...
