Scripps Research team offers insights that could aid development of phage therapies against Mycobacteria The pathogens which ...

Researchers have produced the most detailed image to date of a bacteriophage -- phage for short -- that has allowed them to see for the first time the structural makeup of the part of the phage that ...

A bacteriophage is a type of virus that infects bacteria. In fact, the word "bacteriophage" literally means "bacteria eater," because bacteriophages destroy their host cells. All bacteriophages ...

Hajitou explained how his team has used vector hybridising adeno-associated virus (AAV) and a single-stranded bacteriophage to overcome these problems. Using this AAVP vector they have delivered ...

The structure of the PP7 bacteriophage coat protein revealed a mode of RNA binding that is distinct from that of the well-characterized MS2 coat protein, suggesting new orthogonal systems for RNA ...

Researchers at Pitt have produced the most detailed image to date of a bacteriophage–phage for short–that has allowed them to ...

The team then synthesized a lysin from a bacteriophage, or virus that attacks bacteria, that infects S. hominis. During in vitro experiments, this lysin was found to target only S. hominis ...

The Phage Genomics Lab courses ,sponsored by the HHMI Science Education Alliance, offers introductory biology students an authentic research experience. Students isolate novel bacteriophage from the ...

Scientists are now looking to bacteriophage - viruses that infect bacteria - and their potential to treat drug-resistant infections. They have begun to look deeper into an intriguing class of large ...

With antimicrobial resistance rising as one of the world's most pressing health threats, the 8th World Congress on Targeting ...

Virulence of Yersinia has been studied in my laboratory since 1980 and the approach has been to use the tools of modern molecular biology and genetics to elucidate the selected aspects of it.

We initiated the project to establish the logistics and practical issues in setting up and maintaining a collection of therapeutic phages. In order to run PT service for clinicians, safe bacteriophage ...
