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 ...

Clinicians have used phages to treat bacterial infections since the early 20 th century. Although the advent and mass production of antibiotics caused a decline in phage therapy, the recent rise in ...

As the number of antibiotic-resistant infections continues to rise, scientists are looking to bacteriophages (“phages”), viruses that infect bacteria, as an approach to tackling antibiotic resistance.

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has published the U.K.’s first official guidance to support the safe development and use of phage therapies. The guidance aims to help ...

Work in England to develop bacteriophages to tackle disease has received funding support. The £800,000 ($975,000) grant from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) will ...

Bacteriophages have been used therapeutically to treat infectious bacterial diseases for over a century. As antibiotic-resistant infections increasingly threaten public health, interest in ...

Structure of an entire DT57C bacteriophage. The entire virus was reconstructed in three dimensions at near-atomic resolution and visualized in this animation. The word “virus” is often associated with ...
