The growing threat of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria is calling upon researchers to find alternative ways to treat these infections. Cue CRISPR-Cas technology. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is ...
Like any other organism, bacteria are constantly exposed to pathogenic threats, such as viruses and plasmids. The Aviram Lab is interested in understanding how bacterial cells protect themselves from ...

Like people, bacteria get invaded by viruses. In bacteria, the viral invaders are called bacteriophages, derived from the Greek word for bacteria-eaters, or in shortened form, "phages." Scientists ...
The idea that a single-celled bacterium can defend itself against viruses in a similar way as the 1.8-trillion-cell human immune system is still “mind-blowing” for molecular biologist Joshua W. Modell ...

Because CRISPR news tends to focus on the applications of genome editing—such as treating genetic diseases or improving food—it may be easy to forget that the system is, at its core, used by bacteria ...
