A bacteriophage attaches itself to a susceptible bacterium and infects the host cell. Following infection, the bacteriophage hijacks the bacterium's cellular machinery to prevent it from producing ...

The researchers found, however, that some strains of bacteria appeared to be less vulnerable to bacteriophage infections than others and resisted the hijacking of their cell machinery by ...

We assume that it will handle pathogenic infections more effectively ... began by examining the genes encoded in this bacteriophage and how they differ from those of existing bacterial phages ...
