The presence of tRNAs in bacteriophage genomes has intrigued scientists since their discovery in the early 1960s, as phages were believed to rely on the host tRNAs for their translation. Over the year...

AbstractAims. In phage therapy case studies, 1–3 bacteria isolates are typically tested against phages (phagogram). However, as bacteria populations differ

In this Consensus Statement, the authors outline strategies for processing, analysing and interpreting low-biomass microbiome samples, and provide recommendations to minimize contaminants.

In the early stages of infection of its host, Escherichia coli, bacteriophage MS2 sheds its icosahedral protein capsid, after which the single-strande…

npj Viruses - Bacteriophages (phages) are viruses that kill bacteria, with potential as antibacterial agents in industrial settings, agriculture, and human health. Here, we identified two phages,...

Bacterial flagella drive motility and chemotaxis while also playing critical roles in host-pathogen interactions, as their oligomeric subunit, flagellin, is specifically recognized by the mammalian im...

The exploration of bacteriophage diversity remains constrained by reliance on conventional plaque assays, which bias discovery toward phages that form visible plaques and propagate efficiently. The di...
