The first author Thu Vu Phuc Nguyen, left, and Ido Golding investigated how coinfecting phages can impede each other’s entry into a cell. The process by which phages—viruses that infect and replicate ...

Viruses can “eavesdrop” on each other using chemical signals – but it can backfire for the eavesdropper, new research shows. University of Exeter scientists studied chemical communication by phages ...

The process by which phages - viruses that infect and replicate within bacteria - enter cells has been studied for over 50 years. In a new study, researchers from the University of Illinois ...

A single phage causes lysis, while infection by multiple phages results in lysogeny. In the current study, the researchers wanted to ask whether the number of infecting phages that bind to the ...
