Megan Baldridge and her co-workers will use their Global Grant for Gut Health (GGGH) to examine which human proteins interact with bacteriophage viruses in the gut, and how this might trigger ...

Antibiotics have long been the go-to treatment for various infections. Still, almost as soon as the treatment was discovered in 1945, widespread use led to the rise of a new problem: antibiotic ...

WASHINGTON, DC — Research on the gut microbiome — and clinical attention to it — has focused mainly on bacteria, but bacteriophages and fungi play critical roles as well, with significant influences ...

In the face of rising concerns about antibiotic resistant infections, an international group of microbial experts have launched a powerful and flexible free online genomic toolkit for more rapid ...

Antimicrobial resistance—when bacteria and fungi defend themselves against the drugs designed to kill them—is an urgent threat to global public health, according to the Centers for Disease Control and ...

Viruses attack nearly every living organism on Earth. To do so, they rely on highly specialized proteins that recognize and ...

As antibiotic-resistant infections increasingly threaten public health, interest in bacteriophages as therapeutics has seen a resurgence. However, the field remains largely limited to naturally ...
