As antibiotic-resistant "superbugs" make infections trickier to treat, some in the medical community are turning to ...

Depending on the life cycle of the phage, this lysis can occur either soon after the initiation of infection (lytic cycle) or instead following lengthy periods of delay (lysogenic cycle). [1] ...

Phages can be lytic or exhibit other life cycles such as lysogenic (nonreplicating), pseudolysogenic (plasmid like), or chronic. Healthy gut phages are largely nonlytic.” ...

In PNAS, Zhong et al. uncover an entirely novel role for Saccharibacteria, that of protecting biofilms of the host organism from lytic phage predation. Given the correlation among TM7x episymbiosis, ...

Once phages attach to a host, they pursue either a lytic or lysogenic replication strategy. 2 In lytic replication, the phage introduces its viral genome into the cytoplasm and uses the host cell ...

In the lytic cycle (Figure 2), sometimes referred to as virulent infection, the infecting phage ultimately kill the host cell to produce many of their own progeny. Immediately following injection into ...

Misson, P., Bruder, E., Cornuault, J. K., et al. (2023) Phage production is blocked in the adherent invasive Escherichia coli LF82 upon macrophage infection.

Results Isolation, purification, and host range determination The phage STWB21 was isolated from a lake water sample in the outskirts of Kolkata area. The host spectrum of phage STWB21 exhibited ...
