Author summary Chromosomes from virtually all organisms contain genes that were horizontally acquired. In bacteria, many of the horizontally acquired genes are located in mobile genetic elements, elements that promote their own transfer from one cell to another. These elements include viruses and conjugative elements that are parts of the host genome and they can contain genes involved in…

Mashup Score: 15Using a bacteriophage to successfully treat a patient infected with a drug-resistant bacteria - 2 year(s) ago
A team of doctors and researchers working at Erasmus Hospital in Belgium has successfully treated an adult woman infected with a drug-resistant bacteria using a combination of bacteriophage therapy and antibiotics. In their paper published in the journal Nature Communications, the group describes the reasons for the use of the treatment and the ways it might be used in other cases.
