Space experiments show microgravity boosts phages' ability to fight antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
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.
Genome analysis showed unique mutations in both organisms, with space-grown phages developing improved infection efficiency.
Findings suggest microgravity reshapes the microbial arms race, potentially leading to new phage therapies for superbugs on Earth.
The study was published in PLOS Biology.
