It is not only antibiotics but also certain viruses—known as bacteriophages—that can kill off pathogenic bacteria. However, ...

Two women have been caught for attempting to bring in a total of 2,400 heat sticks and four vapes via Changi Terminal 4, the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) said in a Facebook post on ...

Bacteriophages, or phages for short, are viruses that infect bacteria. Using phages therapeutically could be very useful in fighting antibiotic-resistant pathogens, but the molecular interactions ...

Starting with design, the Vivo T4 Pro features a quad-curved display on the front, and its back panel has a camera island similar to the Vivo V60 and X200 FE. A major difference, however, is the ...

Researchers at the University of Southampton have used advanced imaging techniques to uncover how bacteria use a mechanism called Kiwa to defend themselves against phage viruses. Phages are seen as a ...

Figure 6. Upstream and downstream optimisation of P4-EKORhE. Different yields were obtained when using P4EKORhE according to the upstream and downstream optimisation. In regard to upstream ...

This smartphone has a glass front, plastic frame, and back, with IP64 certification for dust-tight, splash resistance and MIL-STD-810H compliance (though not guaranteed for extreme use). Dimensions ...

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

A mechanism of antiviral immunity in bacteria has been characterized. A research team from Umeå University (Sweden) has uncovered a mechanism for how bacteria build up antiviral immunity against ...

Bacteria use antiphage systems to combat phages, their ubiquitous competitors, and evolve new defenses through repeated reshuffling of basic functional units into novel reformulations. A common theme ...

Imagine that the next time you catch a stomach bug and antibiotics fail to work, you knock back a vial of clear liquid. The solution teems with bacteriophages, viruses resembling tiny rocket ships.
