Bacteria incubated with bacteriophages in space accumulated distinct mutations compared to those on Earth, highlighting the ...

Scientists from New England Biolabs and Yale University have developed a new method to fight bacterial infections that are highly resistant to antibiotics. They used bacteriophages, which are viruses ...

Antimicrobial resistance—when bacteria and fungi defend themselves against the drugs designed to kill them—is an urgent threat to global public health, according to the Centers for Disease Control and ...

Researchers in the Raman Lab at UW recently published a study discussing sending microbes into space at the International Space Station to evaluate how mutations induced by microgravity may impact ...

In a new study, scientists analyzed how a biological battle played out between a strain of E. coli and a T7 bacteriophage, ...

By simplifying the engineering process and expanding what can be built, the Golden Gate method greatly broadens the possibilities for scientists working to develop bacteriophages as tools to combat ...

Researchers have developed a simple way to bring bacteriophage therapy into much closer reach for clinicians struggling to save patients with antimicrobial-resistant infections. The technology makes ...

The Golden Gate Assembly platform engineers bacteriophages synthetically using sequence data rather than bacteriophage isolates.

As antibiotic-resistant "superbugs" make infections trickier to treat, some in the medical community are turning to bacteriophages for backup. Also known as phages, these viruses exclusively target ...
