Phages (or bacteriophages) are viruses that infect and kill bacteria ... non-infective particles—i.e., they are not able to infect phages. In this latest work, researchers at Imperial's Center for ...

AI-guided design of 16 functional bacteriophage genomes offers a path for phage-based therapies against antibiotic-resistant infections.

The viruses had their DNA written by an AI model and are already wreaking havoc on bacteria in the real world.

A group of Stanford bioengineers claim that they've created synthetic bacteriophages using AI-generated designs that not only ...

The concept of bacteriophage therapy explores using viruses that specifically infect and kill bacteria as a treatment for bacterial infections. Identification and engineering of phages that ...
