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, ...

Before the advent of antibiotics in the 1920s, bacteriophages represented our best bet at fending off life-threatening bacteria. Fast-forward a century, and the looming specter of antimicrobial ...

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 ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Communications, researchers present a method for constructing artificial viral vectors (AVVs) using the established structural components of ...

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 ...
