Summary:
- Bacteriophages, or phages, are viruses that infect and kill bacteria. This article discusses a novel use for phages in the field of medicine.
- Researchers have found that phages can be used to deliver therapeutic drugs directly to specific bacterial infections, helping to treat antibiotic-resistant infections.
- By engineering phages to carry and deliver drugs, this approach could provide a new way to combat the growing problem of antibiotic resistance, which is a major public health concern.
