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

Explore the potential of bacteriophages as a breakthrough therapy against bacterial infections amidst rising antibiotic resistance.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — At Purdue University, undergraduates get to get their hands dirty in the lab. Metaphorically, of course – their hands and labs are clean, but their understanding of the in-depth ...

Bacterial sensory systems represent a dynamic and rapidly evolving area at the intersection of molecular microbiology and biochemistry, where recent ...

Scientists can now design fully synthetic bacteriophages, with potential to reshape the fight against antibiotic resistance.

Some viruses only infect bacterial cells; they are known as bacteriophages (or phages), and they have real potential to defeat antibiotic-resistant superbugs. There are even cases in which very ...
