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 ...

Here we introduce a new approach for the screening, selection and sorting of cell-surface–binding peptides from phage libraries. Biopanning and rapid analysis of selective interactive ligands ...

This generates the phage library, where each virion expresses versions of the protein of interest on its coat protein and carries its genetic sequence in its genome. In the next step, researchers ...

Phage therapy exploits the fact that bacteriophages specifically infect certain variants of bacteria, multiply within them, and ultimately destroy them. During this process, new bacteriophages are ...

A new clinical trial of a ground-breaking phage-based molecular diagnostic, has been agreed. The trial is aimed at evaluating the performance of the phage assay as a first-line blood-based diagnostic ...
