New research reveals how bacteriophages bypass antibiotic-resistant bacteria's defenses, potentially developing a natural alternative to antibiotics.
New research reveals the crucial control mechanisms that enable bacteriophages (viruses targeting bacteria) to bypass the natural defenses of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This finding could pave the way for using phages as a natural alternative to antibiotics. Understanding the control mechanisms, such as anti-CRISPR-associated (ACA) proteins, is essential for developing phage-based therapies in human health and agriculture, and could help combat antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections.
