Phages, or bacteriophages, are viruses that kill certain bacteria. They occur naturally all over the world – in the soil, water, and even in your body. They can fight off bacteria that aren’t able to ...

Staphylococcus aureus pathogenicity islands (SaPIs) are highly mobile phage-related mobile genetic elements in staphylococci. Elements similar to SaPIs have been detected in related Gram-positive ...

Although whole phage continue to generate interest as an alternative to antibiotics, focus is shifting to the use of purified phage components as antibacterial agents. When phages were first ...

Clinicians have used phages to treat bacterial infections since the early 20 th century. Although the advent and mass production of antibiotics caused a decline in phage therapy, the recent rise in ...

A world of microbes resides within the gut of every human being. This vast microbial community, the microbiome, which includes bacteria and viruses, has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to actively ...

The 2018 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to three scientists — Frances Arnold (California Institute of Technology), George Smith (University of Missouri), and Gregory Winter (MRC Laboratory of ...

Discover how a tiny RNA molecule serves as a molecular switch in viral infections, providing insights into phage biology.

Discover the hidden world around you! Join your classmates and other student-scientists from schools all across the U.S. and beyond in a hunt for phages — viruses that infect bacteria. Day1: Phage ...

In the early and mid-1980s, scientists used phages to express recombinant proteins. The protein was retained inside the virions, so screening required growing viral plaques, creating a stamp of these ...

Bobby Burgholzer has cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease that throughout his life has made him vulnerable to bacterial infections in his lungs. Until a few years ago antibiotics held his symptoms ...
