Scientists have used two different bacteriophage viruses individually ... They treated the mice with either phage P1, phage P2, or a combination of the two, all injected at different times ...

Abel Garcia-Pino and his colleagues study the Phd-Doc toxin-antitoxin operon of P1 bacteriophages (small viruses) under the leadership of Remy Loris. Until now, no one has been able to explain the ...

With little help on the new antibiotic horizon, clinicians and researchers are resurrecting an old idea -- the use of bacteriophages -- to treat modern infectious diseases.

A team of researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital, the University of Pittsburgh and the University of California San Diego used a single bacteriophage to treat an immunocompromised patient ...

Students work with mycobacteriophages. Also called “bacteriophages,” or simply “phages,” they are types of viruses that destroy bacteria cells by infecting them and reproducing inside them. Selected ...

I can’t lie; I’ve been waiting for an excuse to post a picture of a bacteriophage*, the microscopic spider virus that lands on bacteria to inject its own DNA, for a long time. This Cyborg Life ...
