Nanoparticle-phage therapy combination

Bacterial infections are becoming increasingly difficult to treat due to antibiotic resistance built up by bacteria as they evolve and adapt to medication. UCLA biomolecular engineers and their colleagues are…

New model for phage therapy research

This news article was published in GEN.news. Antibiotic resistance represents a major public health challenge, but while bacteriophages— viruses that kill bacteria—could represent a potential weapon for fighting antibiotic-resistant pathogens,…

Phage-antibiotic combination to treat infections

A new study published in EBioMedicine "Phage-antibiotic combination is a superior treatment against Acinetobacter baumannii in a preclinical study" showed the in vivo potential of phage-antibiotic combinations for the treated of bacterial…

Thousands of bactericidal viruses can be used to fight antibiotic resistance

Antibiotic resistance is responsible for the deaths of around 700,000 worldwide every year, with the number expected to reach 10 million by 2050, exceeding the number of annual deaths by…
