Revealing its strategies could boost the fight against antibiotic resistance. Phages are viruses that attack bacteria by injecting their DNA, then usurping bacterial machinery to reproduce.

Bacteria have developed many strategies to defend themselves from phages ... lack this system protected them against evolutionarily diverse phages. Using cryo-electron microscopy, we obtained ...

Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria. Some phages follow a lytic life cycle where they inject their DNA into the host cell and hijack its mechanisms to reproduce. When the number of ...

Phages are viruses that attack bacteria by injecting their DNA ... over regular phages when it comes to using these viruses against infections. The researchers wanted to learn how the shield ...

2010). Here, we focus on bacterial innate and adaptive immune systems and phage counter-strategies against the CRISPR-cas system. In many cases, upon infection, lytic phages hydrolyze host DNA, ...

A researcher at the University at Buffalo is investigating what he sees as the battle’s next frontier: bacteriophages—a type of virus that infects bacteria but not human cells. With many unanswered ...

The CRISPR-Cas gene scissors offer a wide range of potential applications, from the treatment of genetic diseases to antiviral therapies and diagnostics. However, to safely harness their powers, ...
