Patel and colleagues describe in Nature a 164-residue prophage-encoded defence protein, ring interacting pore 1 (Rip1), that is activated by the portal or small terminase proteins of infecting phages, oligomeric ring-shaped complexes essent

Gerdt Lab tackles antibiotic resistance using bacteriophages. www.gerdt.lab.indiana.edu

An automated screening platform combining liquid-handling robotics, standardized phenotypic assays and computer-vision enumeration screens large phage collections against clinical bacterial strain panels and has assessed more than 3.8 milli

HepS, encoded by the Gifsy-1 prophage in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, detects infection by Siphoviridae phages and cleaves tRNA anticodon loops to halt phage replication. Gifsy prophages evade self-targeting through a tail-tip v
