As antibiotic-resistant bacteria threaten global health, Hebrew University scientists use innovative method to discover PreS, ...

Discover how a tiny RNA molecule serves as a molecular switch in viral infections, providing insights into phage biology.

As antibiotic-resistant infections rise and are projected to cause up to 10 million deaths per year by 2050, scientists are looking to bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, as an alternative.

Bacteria use a short RNA guide to detect viruses and activate a self-destruct mechanism that protects the wider microbial ...

Infection is a constant risk. Any germs that make it past the body's barriers, like the skin, can cause illness if the immune system does not respond properly and efficiently. Most people can easily ...

In both humans and bacteria, viral infections lead to the activation of enzymes that generate cyclic nucleotides as messengers to start the immune response. However, how bacteria sense viral invasion ...

A tiny viral switch discovered by Israeli and American scientists could open a new front in the fight against ...

There's no organism on earth that lives free of threat - including bacteria. Predatory viruses known as phages are among their most dire foes, infiltrating their cells to replicate and take over.

Experts are increasingly turning to machine learning to predict antibiotic resistance in pathogens. With its help, resistance ...

Researchers have identified the major mechanism behind the transition between chronic and acute P. aeruginosa infections. Their research findings can inform the development of future treatments for ...

People with weakened immune systems are at constant risk of infection. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a common environmental bacterium, can colonize different body parts, such as the lungs, leading to ...
