Using cryo-electron microscopy, researchers have investigated the structure of Bas63, a bacteriophage of the subfamily ...

The World Institute of Kimchi has confirmed in a new study that bacteriophages, which were previously considered a "nuisance" ...

Ecologically beneficial traits in bacteria are encoded by intrinsic and horizontally acquired genes. However, such traits are not universal, and the highly mosaic nature of bacterial genomes requires ...

Phage therapy, which uses viruses known as bacteriophages to treat bacterial infections, is a long-standing medical procedure whose mechanisms of action are still poorly understood. Scientists from ...

Antibiotic resistance is one of the most pressing challenges to global public health as harmful microbes evolve to evade ...

At Purdue University, undergraduates get to get their hands dirty in the lab. Metaphorically, of course – their hands and labs are clean, but their understanding of the in-depth complexities of the ...

Phage interactions with bacteria are well known, and interactions between bacteria and their mammalian host can lead to a range of symbioses. However, the impact of bacteriophages on mammalian ...

The Jumna River at Agra, India, abounds with cholera germs. Some three miles below Agra the river is almost clear of them. Last week Professor Felix d’Herelle—scarcely a name to the public but at Yale ...
