Schitoviruses inject a giant RNA polymerase into bacteria to initiate infection. Here, Bellis et al. reveal the architecture of the coliphage N4 vRNAP and its crosstalk with phage ejection proteins th...

Officials called the increase "a public health threat," especially since shigella is spread easily from person to person.

Cases of drug-resistant Shigella infections are increasing in the United States in a trend that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are calling a “public health threat.&#8221…

Two research teams mined genomic data from bacteria to create databases containing thousands of antiviral defence proteins that could inspire powerful biotechnologies.
