A new study from the Center for Phage Technology shows how bacteriophage lysis genes could be key to developing new antibiotics.
Membrane-localized phage proteins may also help revitalize, enhance existing antibiotics.
A study from the Center for Phage Technology, part of Texas A&M’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and Texas A&M AgriLife Research, shows how the “hidden” genes in bacteriophages — types of viruses that infect and destroy bacteria — may be key to the development of a new class of antibiotics for human health.
The study has been published in Nature Communications and Current Science Daily, as well as featured in a recent Nature Research Microbiology Community blog post.
