Phages are viruses that attack bacteria by injecting their DNA, then usurping bacterial machinery to reproduce. Eventually, ...

Jumbo phages use a protein shield to protect their DNA from bacterial attacks. A special handshake controls which molecules enter.

Furthermore, as the demand for fermented food products made with strains of lactic acid bacteria, including S. thermophilus, has increased, so has the incidence and severity of phage attacks ...

Phyla, a new skincare brand backed by Ryan Reynolds and Shiseido, uses natural phage technology to clear up pimples.

(Photo by: GILLES/BSIP/Universal Images Group via Getty Images) Bacteriophages (or just "phages") are an interesting area of science. Naturally occurring viruses that only attack bacteria ...

Many viruses target tissue cells (like the ones that comprise your lung lining or your lymph nodes), but others hunger exclusively for bacteria. These viruses are called bacteriophages.

Complementary discoveries have the potential to enhance treatment options for antibiotic-resistant infections. Researchers at ...

We found that it works like a tiny motor powered by protons. This motor helps the bacteria detect a virus attack and sends signals to activate other parts of the Zorya system. These parts then ...

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common problem, especially for women. Around half of all women will experience at least one UTI in their lifetime, and many suffer from recurring infections.
