Researchers isolated a phage of the Microviridae family from human feces, representing the smallest phage infecting the gut ...

Scientists Meet in Valencia to Define the Path to Clinical Integration Valencia, Spain. June 9–10, 2026 Researchers, clinicians, and biotechnology innovators from around the world will gather in ...

Phages, viruses that thrive by infecting bacteria, have long been mooted as a potential replacement for antibiotics. But where antibiotics pose the problem of the bacteria they target mutating into ...

Researchers from New England Biolabs and Yale University have created a system for engineering the first fully synthetic bacteriophages that could help with future clinical development of phage ...

For the first time, scientists have designed a phage combination therapy that can precisely target and suppress gut bacteria associated with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). The work showcases the ...

Reviewed by Michael Greenwood, M.Sc. In phage-display, a gene encoding the surface protein of a bacteriophage is replaced with a gene encoding a novel protein. The technique can be used in drug ...

A preclinical study led by Monash University scientists has found that using a combination of phages and antibiotics may be far more effective against bacterial infections than using the agents ...

There’s nothing retro about retrons, which are bacterial molecules that produce DNA. Although retrons ordinarily serve an immune function in bacteria, they can, upon modification, acquire a genetic ...

New methodology and tools provide an opportunity to watch in unprecedented detail as a phage attacks a bacterium. As antibacterial resistance continues to render obsolete the use of some antibiotics, ...

Steffanie Strathdee and her husband Tom Patterson fishing in Haida Gwaii, British Columbia in August 2023. Tom recovered from a life-threatening superbug infection after receiving phage therapy in ...
