Some things just go together in your belly: peanut butter and jelly, salt and pepper, bacteria and bacteria-eating viruses. For the bacterial species that inhabit your gut, there's a frenzy of ...

University of Toronto researchers have uncovered how bacterial viruses protect their progeny in order to maximize their reach. The phenomenon, described in a study published in Nature, relies on viral ...

Researchers at Columbia Engineering have built a cancer therapy that makes bacteria and viruses work as a team.

Using an accelerated arms race between bacteria and viruses, researchers are documenting rapid evolutionary processes in simple laboratory flasks in only three weeks.

Antimicrobial resistance is a growing threat, one that health officials say could lead to 10 million deaths by 2050. It’s a scenario that makes discovering new ways to combat drug-resistant infections ...

Using a new mouse model that can eliminate and revive these virus communities, Virginia Tech biologists discovered that the viruses can exacerbate collateral damage from antibiotics.

For the bacterial species that inhabit your gut, there’s a frenzy of viruses called bacteriophages that naturally infect them. Although they co-evolved with bacteria, phages get far less glory ...
