In a growing global trend, bacteria are evolving new ways to maneuver around medical treatments for a variety of infections.

Scientists are now looking to bacteriophage — viruses that infect bacteria — and their potential to treat drug-resistant ...

“The field of phage biology has seen an ... wanted to investigate whether the number of infecting phages (bacteriophages, or viruses that infect bacteria) that bind to a bacterial surface ...

Bacteriophages are viruses that selectively target and kill bacteria. They are abundant, commonly occurring natural entities ...

"If we understand the defense 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 ...

“Using our new analytical tool, we profiled the combined phage-bacteria communities in 12,262 ... to escape predation from the phages that were infecting them, and then that opens up an ...

In bacteria, the viral invaders are called bacteriophages, derived from the Greek word for bacteria-eaters, or in shortened form, “phages.” Scientists have sought to learn how the single-cell ...

Viruses of bacteria, known as bacteriophages or phages, were discovered nearly 100 years ago. Their potential as antibacterial agents was appreciated almost immediately, with the first 'phage ...

To understand how Bil works, Sorek’s team compared phage progeny from infected bacteria with and without the system ... Sorek and his team showed that even the fully assembled progenies showed a ...
