Their discovery of how these viruses enter cells, and the subsequent development of the decoys, potentially sets the stage for new strategies to prevent and treat tick-borne encephalitis viruses, ...

Bacteria and viruses are often lumped together as germs, and they share many characteristics. They’re invisible to the human eye. They’re everywhere. And both can make us sick. Bacteria and viruses ...

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 ...

In the fight against antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) superbugs, an important weapon may just be hiding in some polluted stream, in some remote village that lacks adequate sewage infrastructure, or in a ...

Researchers uncover a notorious cholera strain that contains sophisticated immune systems to fend off viruses, which potentially helped it to fuel a devastating epidemic across Latin America. When we ...

In other words, in microgravity, phages and bacteria don't bump into each other as often and the bacteria may have evolved to ...

Viruses are everywhere in wastewater treatment plants, quietly interacting with bacteria as sewage is cleaned and reused. A new study reveals that these viral communities are far more complex and ...

A study offers evidence that a single bacterial species -- the host of the phage -- can maintain a diverse community of competing phage species. Knowing how more than one kind of virus can survive ...

Oct 31 (Reuters) - Tiny viruses that only infect and kill bacteria can help treat deadly antibiotic-resistant bloodstream infections with Staphylococcus aureus, results from a mid-stage trial suggest.
