Published in the journal Science, a new study offers the first evidence that a single bacterial species, the host of a phage, can maintain a diverse community of competing phage species.

Fairburn explains that in the absence of an active anti-phage defence, viral infections inhibit bacterial growth and cause a ...

The Phage Genomics Lab courses ,sponsored by the HHMI Science Education Alliance, offers introductory biology students an authentic research experience. Students isolate novel bacteriophage from the ...

As the child grows, a succession of bacterial species follows in response to diet changes and the development of the immune system. With this bacterial succession, phage communities also change ...

Whilst the ultimate outcome of the lytic cycle is production of new phage progeny and death of the host bacterial cell, this is a multistep process involving precise coordination of gene transcription ...

Next, they used a technique called phage spotting to determine if the ... Moreover, Getz notes that integrons are found in virtually all Vibrio species and roughly 10% of all bacterial genomes ...

In Prevotella, species like P. copri and P ... 2 shows increased activity in succinate metabolism pathways. Host-Phage Activity Associations: The study identifies hundreds of novel host-phage ...

Their potential as antibacterial agents was appreciated almost immediately, with the first 'phage therapy' trials predating Fleming's discovery of penicillin by approximately a decade. In this ...
