When multiple phages attached themselves to a bacterial cell, fewer of them were able to even enter the cell, let alone cause ...

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).

Phage receptors are often identified by mutations that make the bacteria resistant to phage lysis. The Phage Receptor Database (PhReD) provides a useful repository of known receptors on host cell ...

Bacteria navigate tradeoffs between phage resistance and interbacterial competition. This study reveals that while LPS ...

Because phages exert pressure on the bacteria they infect and some phage genomes encode virulence factors and toxins, a role for specific phages or communities of phages in human health seems ...
