Phage Visualization Under Microscope: The Types, Techniques, and Importance January 27, 2023 Bacteriophage research has seen a resurgence in recent years due to its potential for treating antibiotic-resistant bacteria. One of the critical ways to study…
Research: Antibiotics Can Alter the Infectivity of Bacteriophages January 23, 2023 Antibiotics are drugs that help fight bacterial infections. Recently, scientists have discovered that these drugs can also affect the way that viruses, called bacteriophages…
Is a bacteriophage living or non-living entity? January 7, 2023 Phages, like other viruses, have a complex life cycle that causes them to be classified as non-living, despite the fact that they exhibit some of the…
The Lytic and Lysogenic Cycles of the Bacteriophage January 7, 2023 A virus is a microscopic, intracellular parasitic organism. It infects the host cell and uses its chemical machinery to make its own proteins and…
Halteria: The first known virus-eating organisms January 4, 2023 In the microscopic world, some bacteria have been observed to feed on other bacteria, and viruses have been observed to infect bacteria. But for…
Exploring Phage T4: The Most Popular Virus of Microbes December 30, 2022 Phages or Bacteriophages are viruses that mainly infect bacteria. They are highly specialized and have evolved over time to become the most abundant biological…
Phage typing for bacterial strain detection and identification December 13, 2022 What is phage typing? Phage typing is a quick, accurate, and low-cost phenotypic method that uses bacteriophage specificity to detect and identify single strains…
bacteriophage vs prophage: What is a difference? November 22, 2022 The primary distinction between prophage and bacteriophage is that prophage is a viral genome that has been integrated into a bacterial genome, whereas bacteriophage…
