Researchers from New England Biolabs and Yale University have created a system for engineering the first fully synthetic bacteriophages that could help with future clinical development of phage ...
The human gut is home to diverse microbes and has one of the highest density of microbes on Earth. The trillions of microbes that live within us are incredibly important for human health. Yet, we know ...

Researchers found three bacteriophages disable MurJ, a key cell wall transporter, by locking it outward-facing. This blocks ...
A bacteriophage (or phage, for short) is a virus that infects and kills bacteria. They have a protein head, a tail structure, and tail fibers that help them attach to their bacterial targets. They are ...
Antibiotic resistance is one of the most pressing challenges to global public health as harmful microbes evolve to evade these medications. Now, researchers at University of California San Diego and ...
As bacteria become increasingly (and worryingly) resistant to antibiotics, scientists are recruiting bacteriophages—a bacteria’s sworn evolutionary enemy—to fight against these troublesome “superbugs.
Drug-resistant bacteria are becoming harder to treat, pushing scientists to look for new antibiotic targets. Researchers have ...
Scientists found an unexpected viral hitchhiker lurking inside a common gut bacterium – and it was twice as prevalent in ...
Researchers uncover a notorious cholera strain that contains sophisticated immune systems to fend off viruses, which potentially helped it to fuel a devastating epidemic across Latin America. When we ...
