The viruses that kill bacteria may be our best bet against antibiotic resistance – if we can understand how they win.

This illustration shows a phage (virus) attaching to a bacterial cell. The Kiwa defence system (shown in yellow, green, and blue) detects the threat and binds the invading DNA, preventing the phage ...

In a groundbreaking revelation that could reshape the future of medicine, scientists are turning to ancient viruses—called bacteriophages or simply phages—in the global battle against ...

The first antibiotics made once-deadly infections curable, and their early developers were lauded with a Nobel. But these miracle drugs soon revealed their Achilles heel: When antibiotics are overused ...
