Bacteriophages, or phages, viruses that selectively target and infect bacteria, have drawn growing attention for their ...

Bacteria, which are susceptible to infection by bacteriophages, often carry multiple genes encoding anti-phage defense ...

Researchers at Pitt have produced the most detailed image to date of a bacteriophage–phage for short–that has allowed them to ...

Each phage possesses specific features that influence bacterial infection. For clinical applications, researchers mostly use bacteriophages belonging to the order Caudovirales, also known as tailed ...

Research on the gut microbiome has focused mainly on bacteria, but bacteriophages and fungi play critical roles as well, with significant influences on health and disease.

University of Toronto researchers have discovered nine new genes used by bacteria to protect themselves against phages—viruses that infect them. In a study published in Nature Microbiology ...

Researchers at Pitt have produced the most detailed image to date of a bacteriophage–phage for short–that has allowed them to see for the first time the structural makeup of the part of the phage that ...
