Observing the interactions between bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria) and their bacteria hosts. The project utilizes genomics to observe bacteriophage abundance, important genes within ...

Remarkably, viruses seemed to impede each other from the very start. When multiple phages attached themselves to a bacterial cell, fewer of them were able to even enter the cell, let alone cause ...

If one has a urinary tract infection, for instance, the pathology lab will identify the bacterium to be, say, Escherichia coli. It will also determine the pathogen’s sensitivity to over a dozen ...
