Some viruses only infect bacterial cells; they are known as bacteriophages, and they have real potential to defeat antibiotic ...

A bacteriophage is a type of virus that infects bacteria. In fact, the word "bacteriophage" literally means "bacteria eater," because bacteriophages destroy their host cells. All bacteriophages ...

Bacteriophage (phage) are obligate intracellular viruses that specifically infect bacteria and thus exhibit both lytic and lysogenic phases to their lifecycles. The differences between the lytic and ...

Viruses that infect bacterial cells are called bacteriophages. Their main goal is to produce more bacteriophages by injecting their genome into a bacterial host cell, using the host cell machinery ...

Hope that bacteriophages could represent a new therapeutic strategy for resistant bacterial infections has been bolstered by a study conducted by BiomX in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients.

Aims: Novel anticancer strategies have employed bacteriophages as drug carriers and display platforms for anticancer agents; however, bacteriophage-based platforms maintain their natural ...
