Some viruses only infect bacterial cells; they are known as bacteriophages (or phages), and they have real potential to defeat antibiotic-resistant superbugs. There are even cases in which very ...
Phage therapy used as an experimental therapy in 51 cystic fibrosis patients with multi-drug resistant infections showed that ...
The genomes of phages—viruses that infect bacteria—are largely composed of "dark matter": genes that encode proteins whose functions remain unknown. Less than four years ago, a team led by Prof. Rotem ...
Phages, viruses that attack bacteria, have a head and a tail. The head contains the phage’s genetic material and the tail is used to identify a potential host, that is, a bacterial cell into which it ...
University of Toronto researchers have discovered nine new genes used by bacteria to protect themselves against phages—viruses that infect them. In a study published in Nature Microbiology, the ...
As the number of antibiotic-resistant infections continues to rise, scientists are looking to bacteriophages (“phages”), viruses that infect bacteria, as an approach to tackling antibiotic resistance.

Mouse study links gut viruses to immune control of blood sugar spikes
Researchers have found that transplanting specific gut viruses into obese mice can sharply improve how those animals regulate ...
Phage therapy is an emerging strategy that uses viruses that target bacteria to restore gut balance and treat microbiome-related diseases. Ongoing research and early trials show promise, but ...
In a new study, terrestrial bacteria-infecting viruses were still able to infect their E. coli hosts in near-weightless “microgravity” conditions aboard the International Space Station, but the ...
