Bacteriophages, or phages, are viruses that naturally take over and kill bacteria.
Using phages as treatments to fight specific bacteria has so far proven to be challenging.
Researchers at Gladstone Institutes have developed a technology that lets them edit the genomes of phages in a streamlined and highly effective way.
Phage therapy could offer an alternative way to treat bacterial infections resistant to antibiotics.
If scientists already knew exactly what edits they wanted to make to a given phage to optimize its therapeutic potential, the new platform would let them easily and effectively carry out those edits.
Scientists now have a way to edit multiple genes at once if they want to study how these genes interact or introduce modifications that could make the phage a more potent bacterial killer.
