AI to unlock secrets of natural virus defenses against bacteria

Scientists are exploring the use of bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, as a potential alternative to antibiotics for treating infections. This approach leverages nature's own defense mechanisms against bacterial pathogens. The research aims to understand these viruses better to harness their therapeutic capabilities, potentially offering new solutions for antibiotic-resistant bacteria. AI
