The research, published in Science Advances, brought together scientists from Otago and the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology. The team closely examined the molecular structure of Bas63, a ...

This is a 3D printed model of Bacteriophage Q-Beta, a virus that commonly infects E. Coli and it's about 2 million times larger than the actual virus. Asst. Prof. Jon Pokorski, in the department of ...

The atomic structure of the bacteriophage φTE, which kills plant pathogens, has been revealed for the first time, advancing the understanding of its infection mechanism. Okinawa Institute of Science ...

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 ...

Antibiotic resistance represents a major public health challenge, associated with a high mortality rate. While bacteriophages -- viruses that kill bacteria -- could be a solution for fighting ...

Antibiotic resistance represents a major public health challenge, but while bacteriophages— viruses that kill bacteria—could represent a potential weapon for fighting antibiotic-resistant pathogens, ...

A researcher has created a computer reconstruction of a virus, including its complete native genome. Although other researchers have created similar reconstructions, this is believed to be the first ...

These self-propelling microscopic particles use tailor-made viruses to recognize specific bacteria strains. The viruses bind to matching bacteria to form unique sandwich structures that are then ...
