However, simple binary resistance assays were hard to interpret because FM phenotypes obscured phage plaque formation (turbid plaques). We therefore performed growth rate assays in the presence of ...

Bacteriophages, or phages, viruses that selectively target and infect bacteria, have drawn growing attention for their potential use in a host of biotechnological processes to benefit humankind, from ...

The ability of the MS2 plaque reduction assay to detect antiviral activity in these known antiviral plant preparations indicates its suitability as an antiviral screening tool.

A team led by Purdue University’s Bruce Applegate has developed a new time-saving assay to detect an especially severe strain of E. coli in ground beef.

Sample6 has earned a patent for the technology behind its phage-based bacterial detection assay.
