Genetically modified phages deliver bacterial toxins to combat multidrug-resistant E. coli
7.11.2025: At the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) – Flanders Institute for Biotechnology (VIB), biologist Jessie Vandierendonck has been investigating new, alternative treatments to combat bacterial infections using (bacterio)phages, viruses that attack and destroy bacteria. The findings are published in the journal Microbiology Spectrum. The phage may either exploit the bacterial "machinery" to produce new phages, which eventually burst the bacterial cell and kill it, or it may integrate its genetic material into the bacterial genome in a dormant...
