Engineering bacteriophages for enhanced host range and efficacy: insights from bacteriophage-bacteria interactions
Bacteriophages, the most abundant organisms on earth, have the potential to address the rise of multidrug-resistant bacteria resulting from the overuse of antibiotics. However, their high specificity and limited host range can hinder their effectiveness. Phage engineering, through the use of gene ed...
