Employing the xCELLigence ® technology from ACEA Biosciences, a team of Spanish scientists have developed a real-time assay for screening anti-biofilm treatments and quantifying their efficacy ...

The 3rd Bacteriophage Therapy Summit brought together a broad range of emerging phage sectors with a comprehensive list of subjects, including practicality considerations, clinical strategies, and ...

Bacteriophage are viruses specifically evolved to infect bacteria. They are target-specific, so they can easily be designed to attack a particular strain of bacteria - in this case, MRSA. Easy ...

The France-based company said its VIDAS UP Salmonella assay uses recombinant bacteriophage proteins which “offer best-in-class specificity and sensitivity for the targeted capture and detection of ...

Of course, Man has long reimagined the bacteriophage as a tool for everything from antibiotic alternatives (see what’s called phage therapy, a century old idea) to FDA-approved food sprays.

The ability of the MS2 plaque reduction assay to detect antiviral activity in these known antiviral plant preparations indicates its suitability as an antiviral screening tool. An advantage of this ...
