In the fight against antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) superbugs, an important weapon may just be hiding in some polluted stream, ...

Like people, bacteria get invaded by viruses. In bacteria, the viral invaders are called bacteriophages, derived from the ...

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

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 ...

aureus mobilome that confer immunity against infection with phages ... a structure around an important protein encoded by the phage's genome, thereby blocking the phage's ability to copy its ...

Biliary tract infections (BTI), often linked to structural abnormalities like bile duct stones, pose significant treatment challenges due to drug-resistant bacteria like Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Phage ...

"If we understand the defence mechanisms activated by the bacteria in response to phage infections, we can develop methods to bypass them." For the study, the researchers selected the bacterium Vibrio ...

BiomX’s acquisition of Adaptive Phage Therapeutics is looking like a good bet now that one of the treatments from the deal ...
