Researchers at the University of California, Irvine have developed a live-imaging system, Phollow, that tracks individual ...

In a new study, researchers show that the emergence of resistance can be understood in the mechanism of how bacteria build up defenses against being infected by viruses. It is about genes in the ...

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 ...

The friendly viruses, known as bacteriophages (phages), are viruses that selectively target and kill their host bacteria, playing a crucial role in regulating bacterial populations and influencing ...

Bacteria, which are susceptible to infection by bacteriophages, often carry multiple genes encoding anti-phage defense ...

"A key to antibiotic resistance might be the use of viruses to kill bacteria, however, the systems that bacteria employ to defence themselves against viruses are unknown. Understanding these ...

Phage therapy involves the use of viruses that target specific bacteria to treat infections. BiomX picked up BX211 as part of its acquisition of U.S.-based Adaptive Phage a year ago. BiomX’s CEO ...
