Phage engineering gives antibacterial therapy a new lease of life
Antibiotic resistance is a rapidly progressing phenomenon, causing huge headaches for public health planners. However, a new study demonstrates a novel strategy to kill bacteria using natural bacteria-infecting viruses called bacteriophages, or phages for short, which kill off their hosts. The bottleneck for researchers has been rapidly identifying and modifying known phages to weaponize against infectious bacteria. The new approach deals with this by using a single common framework upon which modifications can be made.
