Researchers have a new battle tactic to fight drug-resistant bacterial infections. Their strategy involves using collections of bacteriophages, viruses that naturally attack bacteria. In a new ...

Technologies for generating superphages and optimizing phage cocktails are poised to overcome antibiotic resistance and resolve microbiome dysbiosis.

Drug Development Largest ever phage therapy trial shows promise for UTI treatment Urinary tract–infecting E. coli are increasingly antibiotic resistant but phage therapy offers a compelling ...

Phage therapy offers hope for fighting bacteria that have become resistant to antibiotics. The FDA needs to loosen restrictions on its use.

With phage therapy, researchers sharpen another arrow in the quiver against antibiotic resistance.

Phage therapy cured prostate infection survivor Greg Breed. Can it help millions of other patients as antibiotic resistance grows?

KVT1 is a temperate phage that possesses tyrosine integrase (gp30) and excise (gp46) indicating that this phage might be involved in the process of recombination leading to increased genetic diversity ...

This is significant because phage integration promotes bacterial evolution and genomic diversity. We also investigated integrase that plays an essential role in integrating the phage genome into ...

Within this repository are two main programs: Islander and TIGER. These two programs use different methodology for identifying putative integrative genetic elements in genomic assemblies. To identify ...

A genome engineering-based systematic strategy for developing phage resistant Escherichia coli strains has been successfully developed.

Health Phage therapies for superbug infections are being tested in Belgium Bacteria-killing viruses can be used to treat antibiotic-resistant superbugs, and the approach has been tried in more ...
