Surprising results from two independent research groups, recently published in the journal Cell, show that phage join forces to overcome bacteria’s CRISPR-based immune defenses. Improved understanding ...
Bacteria use antiphage systems to combat phages, their ubiquitous competitors, and evolve new defenses through repeated reshuffling of basic functional units into novel reformulations. A common theme ...
An unexpected find has enabled important progress to be made in the battle against harmful bacteria. An international team of researchers, led by Professor Peter Fineran from the University of Otago, ...

One such defence are "clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats", or CRISPR, now better known for its applications in medicine and biotechnology. CRISPR systems in general act as ...
Bacteria get invaded by viruses called phages. Scientists are studying how bacteria use CRISPR to defend themselves from phages, which will inform new phage-based treatments for bacterial infections ...
