Bacteria have developed many strategies to defend themselves from phages — the viruses that infect them. The Zorya defence system uses a previously undescribed antiviral strategy. An ...

As antibiotic-resistant infections rise and are projected to cause up to 10 million deaths per year by 2050, scientists are ...

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.

The viruses that kill bacteria may be our best bet against antibiotic resistance — if we can understand how they win. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.

Staph infections can be deadly, especially in hospitals where certain strains have evolved to be resistant to antibiotics. The bacteria responsible for these infections, Staphylococcus aureus, is ...

Some viruses, known as bacteriophages, only infect bacterial cells, often destroying those bacteria in the process. Bacteria, in turn, can develop defenses against these viruses. Bacteriophages or ...
