Megan Baldridge and her co-workers will use their Global Grant for Gut Health (GGGH) to examine which human proteins interact with bacteriophage viruses in the gut, and how this might trigger ...

In the study, a group of scientists led by the head of the laboratory Artem Isaev analyzed the composition of one of the therapeutic phage cocktails and discovered a new type of bacteriophage—it ...

A bacteriophage is a virus that infects and replicates within bacteria. Image by Dr. Victor Padilla-Sanchez, PhD – Own work (CC BY-SA 4.0) The first fully synthetic bacteriophage engineering system ...

Researchers have discovered that hundreds of relatively larger bacteriophages possess proteins that are used to direct their bacterial hosts. The proteins can affect the ribosomal production of ...

Phage therapy is an emerging strategy that uses viruses that target bacteria to restore gut balance and treat microbiome-related diseases. Ongoing research and early trials show promise, but ...

A University of Otago – Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka-led study has produced a detailed blueprint of a bacteriophage, furthering their potential in the fight against drug-resistant bacteria. Lead author Dr ...
