We commonly acknowledge that bacterial viruses (phages) shape the composition and
evolution of bacterial communities in nature and therefore have important roles in ecosystem …

CRISPR/Cas9 (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-associated protein
9) shows the opportunity to treat a diverse array of untreated various genetic and …

Phage therapy is the use of bacterial viruses as antibacterial agents. A primary
consideration for commercial development of phages for phage therapy is the number of …

Viruses of bacteria (bacteriophages or phage) have broad effects on bacterial ecology and
evolution in nature that mediate microbial interactions, shape bacterial diversity, and …

Phages impose strong selection on bacteria to evolve resistance against viral predation.
Bacteria can rapidly evolve phage resistance via receptor mutation or using their CRISPR …

CRISPR-Cas systems provide bacteria and archaea with adaptive, heritable immunity
against their viruses (bacteriophages and phages) and other parasitic genetic elements …

When considering the interactions between bacteriophages and their host, the issue of
phage-resistance emergence is a key element in understanding the ecological impact of …

Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of bacterial pathogens is widely conducted in
microbiological, medical, and clinical research to explore genetic insights that could impact …

Articles on CRISPR commonly open with some variant of the phrase “these short
palindromic repeats and their associated endonucleases (Cas) are an adaptive immune …

CRISPR-Cas adaptive immune systems are found in bacteria and archaea and provide
defence against phage by inserting phage-derived sequences into CRISPR loci on the host …
