A newly developed laboratory tool can, within hours, help to identify specific viruses which can be used to destroy variants ...

The Human Virome Program will analyse samples from thousands of volunteers in an effort to understand how viruses affect ...

Phages are viruses that attack bacteria by injecting their DNA, then usurping bacterial machinery to reproduce. Eventually, they make so many copies of themselves that the bacteria burst.

Scientists continue to learn more and more about bacteria that exists naturally inside our gut. Researchers at Virginia Tech ...

Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria. Some phages follow a lytic life cycle where they inject their DNA into the host cell and hijack its mechanisms to reproduce. When the number of ...

Analyzing stool samples, scientists discovered viruses known as phages that could infect bacteria inside the gut. Phages also turned up in the mouth, lungs and skin. Scientists later found viruses ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have taken the lead on a project to investigate whether certain viruses known as bacteriophages, or phages, which specifically infect bacteria but not ...

They performed density gradient centrifugation to separate phages from bacterial lysates and found that the bacteria that expressed Bil produced a higher density band in the gradient. When the ...
