University of Toronto researchers have expanded our understanding of bacterial immunity with the discovery of a new protein that can both sense and counteract viral infections. In the new study, ...

A comprehensive review explores how bacteria resist phage therapy and offers innovative solutions to combat this challenge. The authors discuss mechanisms like CRISPR-Cas and biofilm formation, and ...

With the rapid development of antibiotics in the 1930s, phage therapy – using viruses known as bacteriophages or phages to tackle bacterial infections – fell into oblivion. But as the current rise in ...

As antibiotic-resistant "superbugs" make infections trickier to treat, some in the medical community are turning to bacteriophages for backup. Also known as phages, these viruses exclusively target ...
