By Nancy Lapid (Reuters) -Tiny viruses that only infect and kill bacteria can help treat deadly antibiotic-resistant ...

A research team has synthesized a lysin that during in vitro experiments targets bacteria responsible for producing odors in human armpits. Body odor from the armpits comes from bacteria metabolizing ...

In this work, a complex in vivo model of tumors accompanied by surgical wound infection was applied. Bacteriophages modified with anticancer YIGSR peptides acted as the active agents. Evaluation of ...

Last month, researchers published the first results from the ELIMINATE clinical trial. The trial aims to test the efficacy of viruses called bacteriophages to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs).

Viruses that infect bacteria—known as bacteriophages - could be used in a targeted manner to combat bacterial diseases. They also play an important ecological role in the global biogeochemical cycles.

It is not only antibiotics but also certain viruses—known as bacteriophages—that can kill off pathogenic bacteria. However, Switzerland lacks the legal framework for the use of these viruses in ...

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