A bacteriophage is a type of virus that infects bacteria. In fact, the word "bacteriophage" literally means "bacteria eater," because bacteriophages destroy their host cells. All bacteriophages ...

The team then synthesized a lysin from a bacteriophage, or virus that attacks bacteria, that infects S. hominis. During in vitro experiments, this lysin was found to target only S. hominis ...

Their main goal is to produce more bacteriophages by injecting their genome into a bacterial host cell, using the host cell machinery to copy their genome, and expressing bacteriophage genes.

Scientists are now looking to bacteriophage — viruses that infect bacteria — and their potential to treat drug-resistant ...
