This important study analyzes the effect of heat treatment on phage-bacterial interactions and convincingly shows that prior heat exposure alters the bacterial cell envelope, enhancing persistence and ...

Generalized transduction occurs when random sections of host DNA are incorporated into bacteriophage during the lytic cycle in the process of making more bacteriophage particles, as shown in Figure 1.

Dennis D'Amico, associate professor of animal science, has demonstrated that bacteriophages can effectively reduce the amount ...
