As bacteria become increasingly (and worryingly) resistant to antibiotics, scientists are recruiting bacteriophages—a bacteria’s sworn evolutionary enemy—to fight against these troublesome “superbugs.
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 ...
Before the advent of antibiotics in the 1920s, bacteriophages represented our best bet at fending off life-threatening bacteria. Fast-forward a century, and the looming specter of antimicrobial ...
Bacteriophages have been used therapeutically to treat infectious bacterial diseases for over a century. As antibiotic-resistant infections increasingly threaten public health, interest in ...
The phage vB_RanS_GDF21 (GDF21) was isolated from feces of a duck farm, and its biological properties were characterized. Whole-genome sequencing was performed using the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform ...
New treatments for ancient microbes are everywhere - in the soil, in the sea, in the human gut, and especially in human sewage, according to Dr Callum Cooper. The rise of antimicrobial resistance as a ...
Most often, the presence of water in pharmaceutical substances, petroleum products, or foodstuffs is unwanted. For example, if water content is too high, it can reduce the shelf life of grains like ...
In this second edition of the “Guide to Phototitration” Mettler Toledo presents a detailed manual on photometric titration, authored by Kees Mooibroek, former Senior Application Chemist in the Market ...
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 ...
Antibiotic resistance is one of the most pressing challenges to global public health as harmful microbes evolve to evade these medications. Now, researchers at University of California San Diego and ...
