With the rise of antibiotics in the 1930s, phage therapy (the use of viruses called bacteriophages to fight bacterial infections) was abandoned. Today, the increase in antibiotic resistance makes ...

Researchers have recently made a significant breakthrough in the quest for a more efficient and cost-effective treatment method. Their study, which brings to light the potential of bacteriophages — ...

Bacteriophages, viruses that target bacteria, were discovered in the early 20th century and gained popularity as a potential treatment for bacterial infections before antibiotics became widespread.

Bacteriophages, the most abundant organisms on earth, have the potential to address the rise of multidrug-resistant bacteria resulting from the overuse of antibiotics. However, their high specificity ...

DNA origami is a technique that involves folding a bacteriophage DNA into a prescribed nanostructure using short oligonucleotides. This technique has found great utility in crystal engineering, where ...

In a recent review published in Cell, researchers presented an overview of bacteriophage treatment, including mechanisms, types, design and applications of bacteriophage therapy. Study ...

iNtRON Biotechnology announced that iNtRON has developed its unique CRISPR/Cas system customized for the genetic modification of certain bacteria and corresponding bacteriophage. BOSTON and SEOUL, ...

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 in an agricultural and biological engineering class said they named a bacteriophage they discovered after Purdue President Mitch Daniels. Bacteriophages are a type of virus that destroys ...
