Viral enzyme cuts bacterial sensor protein, triggering defense against invading phages
来源: Phys.org - latest science and technology news stories · 发布于
In the fight to find better treatments for bacterial infections, one rapidly evolving therapy uses a group of viruses called bacteriophages (phages). Phages can attack and kill dangerous bacteria while leaving human cells unharmed and bypassing antibiotic resistance.

Machine learning detects bacterial invasion and DNA damage in human cells
When scientists assess how dangerous a bacterium is, the first question often seems simple: Can it be stopped or killed? In microbiology and antibiotic research, one of the classic readouts has been whether a bacterium can grow in the presence of a given treatment. The bacterium
