Phage-focused BiomX is undergoing a “strategic and financial reset” in efforts to improve its position, mapping out a ...
Weizmann Institute researchers have used AI and experimental biology to identify three new families of proteins that viruses ...
Researchers isolated a phage of the Microviridae family from human feces, representing the smallest phage infecting the gut ...
As bacteria that cause infection increasingly develop resistance to antibiotics, scientists have moved a step closer to harnessing viruses as an alternative form of therapy. Phage therapy is the ...
The genomes of phages - viruses that infect bacteria - are largely composed of "dark matter": genes that encode proteins ...
Steffanie Strathdee and her husband Tom Patterson fishing in Haida Gwaii, British Columbia in August 2023. Tom recovered from a life-threatening superbug infection after receiving phage therapy in ...
New methodology and tools provide an opportunity to watch in unprecedented detail as a phage attacks a bacterium. As antibacterial resistance continues to render obsolete the use of some antibiotics, ...
Every living thing on the planet plays host to viruses, and bacteria are no exception. Bacteriophages—or just “phages” to those in the know—are the viruses that attack bacteria. And we are in dire ...
Phage therapy is the concept of using viruses (known as phage) to kill bacteria, instead of using antibiotics. Until now, experiments have largely focussed on exposing bacteria to phage in a flask.
