Space-evolved viruses show enhanced killing power against antibiotic-resistant bacteria, offering new pathways for phage ...
The researchers took a “safety-first” approach. They deliberately excluded all viruses that infect humans or animals from the ...
Jumbo phages belong to a group of viruses that attack bacteria. They inject their DNA and then reproduce by taking over the cell’s DNA-copying machinery. Eventually, a phage makes so many copies of ...
Long before humans became interested in killing bacteria, viruses were on the job. Viruses that attack bacteria, termed “phages” (short for bacteriophage), were first identified by their ability to ...

Viruses that evolved on the space station and were sent back to Earth were more effective at killing bacteria
Near-weightless conditions can mutate genes and alter the physical structures of bacteria and phages, disrupting their normal ...
Scientists found that the space station phages gradually accumulated specific mutations that boosted their infectivity, or ...
Microorganisms have evolved together for millennia under Earth’s gravitational conditions, fundamentally shaping their physiology. But what would happen to their dynamics if they lived under space ...
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - An enzyme viruses use to punch holes in bacteria works to prevent ear infections in mice and might offer a safe way to prevent them in children, too, U.S. researchers said on ...
Cancer research has long looked at bacteria and viruses as separate tools for therapy. Now, researchers are showing that the two can actually work better together. A team of scientists has built a new ...
