An electron micrograph— a photograph taken by means of a transmission electron microscope—of the DT57C bacteriophage. These types of images have been used to obtain a three-dimensional structure of ...

A University of Otago – Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka-led study has produced a detailed blueprint of a bacteriophage, furthering their potential in the fight against drug-resistant bacteria. Lead author Dr ...

Researchers who work with bacteriophages -- viruses that eat bacteria -- had a pleasant and potentially very important surprise after treating samples to view under an electron microscope: they had ...

As bacteria become increasingly (and worryingly) resistant to antibiotics, scientists are recruiting bacteriophages—a bacteria’s sworn evolutionary enemy—to fight against these troublesome “superbugs.

As antibiotic-resistant infections increasingly threaten public health, interest in bacteriophages as therapeutics has seen a resurgence. However, the field remains largely limited to naturally ...

Bacteriophages have been used therapeutically to treat infectious bacterial diseases for over a century. As antibiotic-resistant infections increasingly threaten public health, interest in ...

The World Institute of Kimchi has confirmed in a new study that bacteriophages, which were previously considered a "nuisance" during the process of food fermentation, actually play the role of key ...

As metals fuse and sparks fly, one researcher’s work takes the form of DNA, a bacteriophage, a nucleosome, and more.

Martha Clokie (left) is a Professor of microbiology at the University of Leicester (UK), where she runs the first Centre for Phage Research in the UK. Her research is focused on different aspects of ...

In a recent study published in Scientific Reports, researchers investigated whether a cocktail of bacteriophages coding for the depolymerase polysaccharide could effectively disrupt Klebsiella ...
