By tagging phages with fluorescent markers, researchers tracked their every move. They found that antibiotics can trigger sudden "viral blooms," where phages rapidly multiply and spread, dramatically ...

Bacteriophages, or phages, viruses that selectively target and infect bacteria, have drawn growing attention for their ...

Researchers at Pitt have produced the most detailed image to date of a bacteriophage–phage for short–that has allowed them to see for the first time the structural makeup of the part of the phage that ...

In the fight against antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) superbugs, an important weapon may just be hiding in some polluted stream, ...

So even before her analysis, she knows the bucket is chock-full of naturally occurring predatory viruses called bacteriophages — phages for short. After more than a half century of neglect in ...

Mycobacteria are the world’s most deadly bacteria—causing infectious diseases including tuberculosis (TB), which alone kills ...

Research on the gut microbiome has focused mainly on bacteria, but bacteriophages and fungi play critical roles as well, with significant influences on health and disease.

In bacteria, the viral invaders are called bacteriophages, derived from the Greek word for bacteria-eaters, or in shortened form, "phages." Scientists have sought to learn how the single-cell ...

They have begun to look deeper into an intriguing class of large bacteriophage known as "jumbo phages" that exhibit extraordinary features as possible new agents for bacterial infection treatments.

Mycobacteria are the world's most deadly bacteria --c ausing infectious diseases including tuberculosis (TB), which alone kills more than one million people each year. New drugs to fight these ...

For more than a decade, Yale’s Benjamin Chan has scoured these and other sites across the world, from villages in sub-Saharan Africa to a wastewater plant in New Haven, collecting what are known as ...
