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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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

John McCafferty, Cambridge Institute of Therapeutic Immunology and Infectious Disease Additionally, because the protein would be bound to the bacteriophage with the inserted DNA, the product and ...

Biliary tract infections (BTI), often linked to structural abnormalities like bile duct stones, pose significant treatment challenges due to drug-resistant bacteria like Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Phage ...

Their main goal is to produce more bacteriophages by injecting their genome into a bacterial host cell, using the host cell machinery to copy their genome, and expressing bacteriophage genes.

Students isolate novel bacteriophage from the environment and characterize those phage using current research techniques including electron microscopy and DNA analysis. The genomic DNA from some of ...

List today: Canadian Solar CSIQ is a leading manufacturer of solar photovoltaic modules and a provider of solar energy and battery energy storage solutions. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for its ...

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.
