The solution teems with bacteriophages, viruses resembling tiny rocket ships. These benign microbes exclusively dock onto and destroy bacteria, and your infection clears in a matter of days.

Bacteriophages, or phages, are viruses that specifically infect bacteria. With the rise of antibiotic-resistant infections, there has been a renewed interest in phage therapy as a potential ...

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common problem, especially for women. Around half of all women will experience at least ...

Bacteria are constantly evolving to protect themselves from bacteriophages, or viruses. When it comes to human health , understanding how bacteria can be infected is crucial, as several bacteria ...

plays a critical role in replication (e.g., retroviruses, that reverse transcribe RNA templates into complementary DNA) and genome mutations (e.g., diversity-generating retroelements in ...

Many bacteriophages can modulate host transcription. Here, the authors uncover the anti-termination mechanism of phage satellite P4 protein, Psu. Psu dimers clamp two open rings of the termination ...

However, an equally fascinating but lesser-known phenomenon is the ongoing battle between bacteria and bacteriophages—viruses that specifically target and infect bacteria. This struggle ...

More recently, scientists have found that bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, may be useful for Pseudomonas aeruginosa treatment. Early research in labs (but not yet in humans ...

Thousands of treated patients support the potential of phage therapy, but limited knowledge of this technique and its ...

However, an equally fascinating but lesser-known phenomenon is the ongoing battle between bacteria and bacteriophages—viruses that specifically target and infect bacteria. This struggle, which takes ...

The phage therapy market is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant infections and the growing interest in alternative treatments. Advances in ...
