Generalized transduction occurs when random sections of host DNA are incorporated into bacteriophage during the lytic cycle in the process of making more bacteriophage particles, as shown in Figure 1.

The viruses, however, are unlikely to affect humans. They are bacteriophages, a type of virus that preys on bacteria. The expedition into bathroom biodiversity was recently published in the journal ...

Department of Biophysics Paper No. 83. This study supported by grants from the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Public Health Service (E-1345C1) and the National Science ...

The team then synthesized a lysin from a bacteriophage, or virus that attacks bacteria, that infects S. hominis. During in vitro experiments, this lysin was found to target only S. hominis ...

However, the impact of bacteriophages on mammalian cellular and immunological processes is not well understood. Now, a new study by researchers at Monash University suggests that mammalian cells ...

One such process, transduction, relies on bacteriophage, viruses that infect bacteria, to transfer genetic material from one host cell to another. To better understand this process, a collaboration ...

T4-AVV transduction was compared to the commonly ... The researchers developed a new category of nanomaterial known as a bacteriophage-based artificial viral platform, which can be produced ...

A team of researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital, the University of Pittsburgh and the University of California San Diego used a single bacteriophage to treat an immunocompromised patient ...
