An electron micrograph— a photograph taken by means of a transmission electron microscope—of the DT57C bacteriophage. These types of images have been used to obtain a three-dimensional structure of ...

Some viruses only infect bacteria; they care called bacteriophages or phages for short. As antibiotic-resistant bacteria become a greater threat to public health, scientists and clinicians have been ...

Cryo-electron microscopy by University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers has exposed the structure of a bacterial virus with unprecedented detail. This is the first structure of a virus able to ...

Scientists mapped the Bas63 bacteriophage in unprecedented detail, uncovering how its tail machinery infects bacteria. The structure reveals rare whisker-collar features and distant evolutionary ties ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Communications, researchers present a method for constructing artificial viral vectors (AVVs) using the established structural components of ...

Viruses that attack bacteria, known as bacteriophages, could help doctors fight hospital infections that no longer respond to ...
