Bacteriophage T7, a virus that preys on E. coli, becomes a more effective killer after spending time aboard the International ...

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 ...

A new study demonstrates an advance in treating antibiotic-resistant infections in animals through personalized phage therapy. The treatment combined a specific anti-P. aeruginosa phage applied ...

A pet cat named Squeaks has been saved from a multidrug-resistant infection with a pioneering therapy, a new study details. It marks the first ever use of personalized phage therapy in animals—a type ...

A persistent infection in a pet cat’s leg after a compound fracture was repaired has finally been cured using cutting-edge experimental medicine: personalized bacteriophage therapy. Pet Siamese cat, ...

Oral administration of a cocktail of three viruses, all of which specifically kill cholera bacteria, prevents infection and cholera-like symptoms in animal model experiments, report scientists from ...

This image shows the "sink-source" dynamic between host bacterium (Schaalia odontolytica XH001) and lytic phage LC001. This dynamic is caused by the co-existence of phage-sensitive XH001 and the phage ...

Researchers have discovered a new bacterial killer that can target common lung infection caused by Burkholderia bacteria that has exciting potential for biotechnological applications. Researchers have ...

Researchers have concocted a cocktail of bacteria-fighting viruses with the potential to successfully treat antibiotic-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae infections. In a recent study, researchers led by ...

The number of adults living with diabetes worldwide is expected to reach approximately 783 million by 2045, which is a staggering healthcare burden. The condition occurs when the body cannot regulate ...
