In a recent study published in the journal PLoS Pathogens, researchers analyze prophages of the LF82 strain of adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) to better understand their behavior in vitro ...

When viral DNA is more “liquidy,” it is more easily injected into host cells—so easily, in fact, that multiple virus-carrying capsids may squeeze their DNA payloads into a host cell simultaneously.

Pinholin S2168 triggers the lytic cycle of bacteriophage φ21 in infected Escherichia coli. Activated transmembrane dimers oligomerize into small holes and uncouple the proton gradient. Transmembrane ...

The populations of Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter aerogenes, and Pseudomonas sp. fell following their addition to soil, but species lysing these gram-negative bacteria were not ...
