Imagine a city under constant threat from invaders. The city's defense system deploys a sophisticated anti-missile defense ...

Particularly in the fight against antibiotic resistance, the new findings from the University of Copenhagen could lead to enhanced efficacy of ...

Prof. Lindell added that this mechanism does not prevent the phage from entering the bacterial cell but halts the formation of new viruses, allowing the bacteria to survive. "The fact that certain ...

Researchers at Indiana University Bloomington have discovered a new way that bacteria can kill its competitors in complex microbial communities, revealing novel approaches to leverage viruses to kill ...

Phage biology is the scientific discipline concerned with the study of all biological aspects of bacteriophages (phages), which are viruses that infect bacteria. This includes the distribution ...

Researchers at Indiana University Bloomington have identified a new mechanism by which bacteria can eliminate their ...

Some scientists are investigating the details and mechanisms of how bacteria acquire resistance to different groups of antibiotics. Others are looking for new ways to combat infections that resist the ...

University of California, Berkeley, biologists have shown that several species of fruit fly have stolen a successful defense from bacteria to survive predation by parasitic wasps, which in some ...

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 ...

University of California, Berkeley biologists have shown that several species of fruit fly have stolen a successful defense from bacteria to survive predation by parasitic wasps, which in some ...

One alternative to antibiotics is phage therapy, which harnesses viruses to attack bacterial cells ... they got gobbled up by the body's natural defense mechanisms. He also wanted to know if ...
