For billions of years, bacteria have waged an ongoing arms race against viruses, evolving many defense mechanisms against the infectious invaders. Now, these evolutions may offer innovative ways for ...

Researchers uncover a notorious cholera strain that contains sophisticated immune systems to fend off viruses, which potentially helped it to fuel a devastating epidemic across Latin America. When we ...

Viruses that kill bacteria, known as phages, are potent antimicrobials that can be harnessed to treat infections. However, bacteria are equipped with a set of immune systems, including CRISPR-Cas, ...

Cancer research has long looked at bacteria and viruses as separate tools for therapy. Now, researchers are showing that the two can actually work better together. A team of scientists has built a new ...

A group of military researchers recently discovered 14 new bacteria-eating viruses, or bacteriophages, and gave them ...

A new study offers one of the clearest looks yet at what happens when these tiny particles encounter bacteria in drinking ...

Peering through his microscope in 1910, Franco-Canadian microbiologist Félix d'Hérelle noticed some "clear spots" in his bacterial cultures, an anomaly that turned out to be viruses preying on the ...
