University of Toronto researchers have expanded our understanding of bacterial immunity with the discovery of a new protein ...

By simplifying the engineering process and expanding what can be built, the Golden Gate method greatly broadens the possibilities for scientists working to develop bacteriophages as tools to combat ...

Researchers from New England Biolabs (NEB®) and Yale University describe the first fully synthetic bacteriophage engineering ...

Bacteria incubated with bacteriophages in space accumulated distinct mutations compared to those on Earth, highlighting the ...

Certain chemical compounds can disable the bacterial immune systems that protect them from viruses, making the bacteria ...

Researchers in the Raman Lab at UW recently published a study discussing sending microbes into space at the International Space Station to evaluate how mutations induced by microgravity may impact ...

Scientists can now design fully synthetic bacteriophages, with potential to reshape the fight against antibiotic resistance.

Phages, viruses that thrive by infecting bacteria, have long been mooted as a potential replacement for antibiotics. But where antibiotics pose the problem of the bacteria they target mutating into ...

Peering through his microscope in 1910, Franco-Canadian microbiologist Félix d'Hérelle noticed some "clear spots" in his bacterial cultures, an anomaly that turned out to be viruses preying on the ...

For the first time, scientists have designed a phage combination therapy that can precisely target and suppress gut bacteria associated with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). The work showcases the ...
