A new Epseptimavirus bacteriophage vB_SalS-SIY1lw as a potential antimicrobial alternative to multidrug-resistant Salmonella Infantis

by

The Rising Tide of Phage Therapy: A New Weapon Against Antibiotic-Resistant Salmonella For decades, antibiotics have been the frontline defense against bacterial infections. But the rise of antibiotic resistance is eroding that defense, demanding innovative solutions. Increasingly, scientists are turning to an age-old enemy of bacteria – bacteriophages, or simply, phages – as a powerful … Read more

Breakthrough enables continuous laboratory growth of human norovirus

by

Norovirus Breakthrough: A New Era in Fighting the “Winter Vomiting Bug” Norovirus, often dubbed the “winter vomiting bug,” causes an estimated 685 million cases of acute gastroenteritis globally each year. While typically unpleasant but short-lived for healthy individuals, it can be severe – even life-threatening – for young children, the elderly, and those with compromised … Read more

A Newly Discovered Giant Virus Found in a Pond Is Blurring the Line Between Life and Non-Life

by

The Viral Revolution: How Giant Viruses Are Rewriting the Story of Life For decades, viruses were considered simple, parasitic entities – on the fringes of life itself. But a growing body of research, fueled by the discovery of “giant viruses” like the recently identified ushikuvirus near Tokyo, is challenging that view. These aren’t your typical … Read more
