A study by researchers in the UAB Department of Mathematics and the Center for Mathematical Research (CRM) presents a model describing the behavior of encapsulated bacteriophages within the ...

From medicine to agriculture and aquaculture, bacteriophages are poised to have a huge global impact. As viruses which target only bacterial cells, they hold promise as an alternative to antibiotics, ...

Researchers from New England Biolabs (NEB®) and Yale University describe the first fully synthetic bacteriophage engineering system for Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an antibiotic-resistant bacterium of ...

In a recent review published in Cell, researchers presented an overview of bacteriophage treatment, including mechanisms, types, design and applications of bacteriophage therapy. Study: Phage therapy: ...

The overuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics has led to the development of multi-resistant bacterial strains, rendering antibiotics useless in the treatment of many infectious diseases. As bacteriophages ...

Previously, the Pittsburgh team had identified one bacteriophage out of 10,000, known as 'Muddy', that efficiently kills bacteria in a petri dish and could be a candidate for treating these infections ...

I can’t lie; I’ve been waiting for an excuse to post a picture of a bacteriophage*, the microscopic spider virus that lands on bacteria to inject its own DNA, for a long time. This Cyborg Life gives ...

Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) is a dangerous bacterium that has become increasingly resistant to multiple antibiotics over time (hence its name). MRSA infections are currently ...

Ever wondered what a virus looks like up close? One post circulating on social media claims it has just the picture. "Real Image of a T4 bacteriophage (a virus) via electron microscope," reads a ...
