Protein complex in bacterial cell membrane acts like a rotary motor to recruit DNA-degrading enzymes to defend against phage ...

Phages are viruses that attack bacteria by injecting their DNA, then usurping bacterial machinery to reproduce. Eventually, they make so many copies of themselves that the bacteria burst.

an international group of microbial experts have launched a powerful and flexible free online genomic toolkit for more rapid development of phage therapy. After decades of research, phages or ...

Called phage therapy, it involves fighting one infection with another. First a human gets infected by bacteria. Then the human uses a phage to infect and kill the bacteria. But bacteria are quick to ...

Phage therapy – the use of the viruses of bacteria to fight bacterial infection – was first advocated by Felix d'Herelle in 1919. Due to the advent of antibiotics and scientific controversies ...
