Researchers describe the full molecular structure of the phage DEV. DEV infects and lyses Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria, an opportunistic pathogen in cystic fibrosis and other diseases. DEV is part ...

Study reveals that Pseudomonas bacteria’s ability to resist toxic attacks from bacterial competitors leaves them more sensitive to antibiotics. Some bacteria use a kind of molecular ‘speargun’ to ...

Researchers from Skoltech and other science centers in Russia have developed a reporter system—a tool for screening potential ...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa -- an environmental bacteria that can cause devastating multidrug-resistant infections, particularly in people with underlying lung conditions -- evolved rapidly and then spread ...

A new study describes the use of phage therapy to eradicate multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in a living organism (in vivo) with important new implications for antibiotic ...

Dr Chris Elliot died from an infection he caught while having chemotherapy, a court hears.

Fast identification of bacteria is important in health care, food safety, environmental monitoring and infection control. One ...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Visterra, Inc., a clinical-stage biotechnology company that uses its novel Hierotope® technology platform to identify unique disease targets and to design and ...

Some bacteria deploy tiny spearguns to retaliate against rival attacks. Researchers at the University of Basel mimicked attacks by poking bacteria with an ultra-sharp tip. Using this approach, they ...

While largely unnoticed, phages do not harm humans. On the contrary, these viruses are gaining increasing popularity as biomedicines to eradicate pathogenic bacteria, especially those associated with ...
