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

Dennis D'Amico, associate professor of animal science, has demonstrated that bacteriophages can effectively reduce the amount of common foodborne pathogens in milk. Bacteriophages are viruses that ...

In this work, bacteriophages were used before the surgery, so prevention is one of the mechanisms that may contribute to the final effect. Importantly, phages were applied systemically (ip.), ...

‘Phage therapy’ uses naturally occurring viruses called bacteriophages (from the Greek meaning ‘bacteria-eaters’) to fight bacteria. The phages used in this therapy are harmless to people ...

So even before her analysis, she knows the bucket is chock-full of naturally occurring predatory viruses called bacteriophages — phages for short. After more than a half century of neglect in ...

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 ...

within hours, help to identify specific viruses which can be used to destroy variants of the dangerous pathogenic bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. Viruses of bacteria, known as bacteriophages, ...

Secondary school students Misha Hegde and Mia Maurer are investigating whether special viruses, called bacteriophages, can be ...

This kit utilizes a rapid spin column method to purify total DNA from a wide range of bacteriophages cultured in liquid-grown bacteria. Phenol, chloroform, or cesium chloride banding techniques are ...
