    A viral 'loose cannon' enzyme helps phages shut down bacterial defenses
    Scientists have found how #phages, #viruses that infect bacteria, orchestrate an explosion of protein modifications inside host cells that helps them evade the bacteria’s immune systems

  24. #AI can now design functional #viruses - not the computer kind, either
    Inject this synthetic #phage into #Ecoli and it kills better than the real thing
    #Bacteriophages, are viruses that infect bacteria, have been widely studied since their discovery in the early 20th century. The end result of the AI portion of the project was a pool of 302 candidate #genomes, 285 of which were able to generate full genomes. Of those, 16 were found to inhibit growth of E. coli #bacteria.

  30. Big Picture Science for Sep. 29, 2025: Not Just a Phage

    REPEAT
    We’re hurtling towards a post-antibiotic world, as the overuse of antibiotics has given rise to dangerous drug-resistant bacteria. Can we fight back using viruses as weapons? An obscure medical therapy uses certain viruses called bacteriophages to treat infection. For a century attempts to turn phage-therapy into a life-saving treatment have faltered, but today there’s renewed interest in this approach. Can we use phages to forestall the antibiotic crisis?

    Guests:

    * Claas Kirchhelle – Medical historian at the University College, Dublin
    * Tom Ireland – Journalist, editor of The Biologist and author of “The Good Virus: The Amazing Story and Forgotten Promise of the Phage”
    * Steffanie Strathdee – Associate Dean of Global Health Sciences at the University of California San Diego
    * Tom Patterson – Professor of psychiatry at the University of California San Diego
