flag Space experiments show microgravity boosts phages' ability to fight antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

flag Experiments on the International Space Station reveal that microgravity alters the evolution of bacteriophages and E. coli, delaying infection but ultimately producing phages with enhanced ability to target antibiotic-resistant bacteria. flag Genome analysis showed unique mutations in both organisms, with space-grown phages developing improved infection efficiency. flag Findings suggest microgravity reshapes the microbial arms race, potentially leading to new phage therapies for superbugs on Earth. flag The study was published in PLOS Biology.
