Bacteriophages are a special type of virus that infect bacteria and have amazing structural and functional diversity. When a bacteriophage infects a bacterium, it can hijack the molecular machinery of ...
In a recent study published in the journal PLoS Pathogens, researchers analyze prophages of the LF82 strain of adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) to better understand their behavior in vitro ...
As the number of antibiotic-resistant infections continues to rise, scientists are looking to bacteriophages (“phages”), viruses that infect bacteria, as an approach to tackling antibiotic resistance.
