Bacteria incubated with bacteriophages in space accumulated distinct mutations compared to those on Earth, highlighting the ...

In a new study, scientists analyzed how a biological battle played out between a strain of E. coli and a T7 bacteriophage, ...

Scientists have infected bacteria with a virus aboard the International Space Station to see how they would interact in microgravity, and the results were surprising. Without gravity-inspired mixing ...

Martha Clokie (left) is a Professor of microbiology at the University of Leicester (UK), where she runs the first Centre for Phage Research in the UK. Her research is focused on different aspects of ...

By simplifying the engineering process and expanding what can be built, the Golden Gate method greatly broadens the possibilities for scientists working to develop bacteriophages as tools to combat ...

Antimicrobial resistance—when bacteria and fungi defend themselves against the drugs designed to kill them—is an urgent ...

Some viruses, known as bacteriophages, only infect bacterial cells, often destroying those bacteria in the process. Bacteria, in turn, can develop defenses against these viruses. Bacteriophages or ...

Viruses attack nearly every living organism on Earth. To do so, they rely on highly specialized proteins that recognize and ...

Megan Baldridge and her co-workers will use their Global Grant for Gut Health (GGGH) to examine which human proteins interact with bacteriophage viruses in the gut, and how this might trigger ...
