New research shows that antibodies targeting the fiber and nozzle proteins of an Acinetobacter baumannii phage block infection and accelerate ...

A new transposon-insertion sequencing method called HIDEN-SEQ systematically maps gene essentiality in bacteriophages and uncovers previously unknown antidefence factors.

Researchers have isolated six infectious Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteriophages, along with a live strain of the bacterium itself, directly from human ...

Researchers have built a phylogeny-agnostic machine-learning framework that predicts strain-level phage–host interactions from genome sequences alone and validated it experimentally ...

Researchers in Australia have characterized phage Ptero and a family of thirteen minimalist bacteriophages whose stripped-down infection machinery reveals the ...

Metagenomic sequencing of water from the Ganga River at Haridwar has uncovered thousands of viral species dominated by tailed bacteriophages, ...

New mouse experiments reveal that the gut microbiota caps susceptible bacterial densities below roughly one million cells per gram of ...

A new review maps how bacterial anti-phage defenses, from restriction enzymes to Thoeris and CBASS immune signaling, shape the success ...

Researchers have engineered Detectrons, toehold-switch biosensors coupled to retron reverse transcription, that convert specific RNA sequences inside living cells into ...

Researchers used narrow-host-range bacteriophages to selectively deplete Variovorax from complex microbial communities, confirming thiamine cross-feeding with Leifsonia and revealing auxin-mediated ...
