We are in the midst of a golden age of uncovering defense systems against bacteriophages.
Apart from the fundamental interest in these defense systems, and revolutionary applications …

Bacteria are under immense evolutionary pressure from their viral invaders—
bacteriophages. Bacteria have evolved numerous immune mechanisms, both innate and …

Bacteria and their viral predators (bacteriophages) are locked in a constant battle. In order to
proliferate in phage-rich environments, bacteria have an impressive arsenal of defence …

Bacteriophages (phages) specifically infect bacteria and are the most abundant biological
entities on Earth. The constant exposure to phage infection imposes a strong selective …

The rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has led to renewed interest in the use of their natural
enemies, phages, for the prevention and treatment of infections. However, phage therapy …

Bacteriophages (phages) are accomplished, bacteria-specific, viral predators with far-
reaching impact: from the food and biotechnology industries [1] to global nutrient cycling [2] …

Bacteria that cause life-threatening infections in humans are becoming increasingly difficult
to treat. In some instances, this is due to intrinsic and acquired antibiotic resistance …

Viruses that infect bacteria (bacteriophages; also known as phages) were discovered 100
years ago. Since then, phage research has transformed fundamental and translational …

Bacteriophages, discovered about a century ago, have been pivotal as models for
understanding the fundamental principles of molecular biology. While interest in phage …

Bacteriophage (phage) therapy, ie, the use of viruses that infect bacteria as antimicrobial
agents, is a promising alternative to conventional antibiotics. Indeed, resistance to antibiotics …
