The Janus-Face of phages.

, 2016
Phages are the natural enemies of bacteria, and thus can potentially be used to fight infections caused by multi-drug–resistant strains. However, as mobile vectors, phages can also assist bacteria in providing them virulence or resistance genes ...

Electrospun Phage-Loaded Bilayer Nanofibrous Scaffolds for Wound Dressing Applications: A Comparative Study of Different Bacteriophages

Journal of Functional Biomaterials
Antimicrobial resistance is a growing global health threat, necessitating alternatives to conventional antibiotics. Bacteriophages, viruses that specifically target bacteria, represent a promising option, and phage-loaded electrospun fibers have recently

A UG5 reverse transcriptase-nitrilase antiviral module confers phage immunity in the plant symbiont Sinorhizobium meliloti

Microbiology Spectrum
Bacteriophages exert strong selective pressure on soil- and rhizosphere-associated bacteria, including plant-associated symbionts. Reverse transcriptase-associated defense systems of the UG family are widespread across bacterial lineages, yet their ...
