Drug Development Largest ever phage therapy trial shows promise for UTI treatment Urinary tract–infecting E. coli are increasingly antibiotic resistant but phage therapy offers a compelling ...

Calvin’s biology department offers a special research program for a select group of first-year students. In this two-semester program, you’ll gather specimens and isolate a unique bacterial virus, ...

This valuable work describes a new protein factor that is required for filamentous phage assembly. Convincing evidence is provided for the binding of PSB15 to the packaging signal of the ...

With phage therapy, researchers sharpen another arrow in the quiver against antibiotic resistance.
