Bacteriophages are the viruses of bacteria. In the guise of phage therapy they have been
used for decades to successfully treat what are probable biofilm-containing chronic bacterial …

Bacteriophages are ubiquitous viral predators that have primarily been studied using fast-
growing laboratory cultures of their bacterial hosts. However, microbial life in nature is …

The process of a bacteriophage attaching to its host cell is a combination of physical
diffusion, biochemical surface interactions, and reaction-induced conformational changes in …

The interactions between bacteria and bacteriophage have important roles in the global
ecosystem; in turn changes in environmental parameters affect the interactions between …

Viruses are incapable of autonomous energy production. Although many experimental
studies make it clear that viruses are parasitic entities that hijack the molecular resources of …

Abundance and diversity of bacteria and their viral predators, bacteriophages (phages), in
the digestive tract are associated with human health. Particularly intriguing is the long-term …

It is important to understand how physiological state of the host influence propagation of
bacteriophages (phages), due to the potential higher phage production needs in the future …

Bacteriophages, or simply phages, are the most abundant biological entities on Earth. One
of the most interesting characteristics of these viruses, which infect and use bacteria as their …

Nowadays, an increasing amount of studies indicate the numerous applications of
bacteriophages (eg medical, pharmaceutical, use in animal breeding, food processing) …

In exploring bacterial resistance to bacteriophages, emphasis typically is placed on those
mechanisms which completely prevent phage replication. Such resistance can be detected …
