Phage-induced mutations create fitness costs that enhance host immune clearance in bacterial infections
Bacterial infections may become easier to treat with phage therapy
This mini-review explores how bacteriophages can be used to create evolutionary traps for bacteria. The authors argue that phage-induced mut…
Bacteria trying to survive a virus attack might accidentally make themselves more vulnerable to your own immune system.
Bacteriophages show promise as targeted anti-caries agents in systematic review
Bacteriophages Show Promise Against Cavities
This systematic review summarizes advances in phage-based interventions for dental caries, including phages targeting S. mutans and Actinomy…
Viruses that target bacteria could one day help prevent and treat cavities by killing cavity-causing germs.
