Bacteriophages or “phages” is the terms used for viruses that infect bacteria. The UAB researchers, led by Terje Dokland, Ph.D., in collaboration with Asma Hatoum-Aslan, Ph.D., at the University of ...

University of Toronto researchers have expanded our understanding of bacterial immunity with the discovery of a new protein ...

Cryo-electron microscopy by University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers has exposed the structure of a bacterial virus with unprecedented detail. This is the first structure of a virus able to ...

For the first time, researchers at the University of Exeter, in collaboration with Massey University and Nanophage Technologies, have mapped out what a commonly-used form of phage looks like. Their ...

Researchers at the University of Southampton have used advanced imaging techniques to uncover how bacteria use a mechanism called Kiwa to defend themselves against phage viruses. Phages are seen as a ...
