"If we understand the defense mechanisms activated by the bacteria in response to phage infections, we can develop methods to bypass them." For the study, the researchers selected the bacterium ...

Phage therapy exploits the fact that bacteriophages specifically infect certain variants of bacteria, multiply within them, and ultimately destroy them. During this process, new bacteriophages are ...

However, such phage communication can evolve only if phage-bacteria populations are regularly perturbed away from their equilibrium state, so that acute outbreaks of phage infections in pools of ...

If you're interested in participating in the phage research course, we encourage you to apply! Please also ask a teacher to fill out our easy recommendation form (no formal letter of recommendation ...
