SMART researchers discover novel phage DNA modifications that offer new hope against antibiotic-resistant superbugs
A groundbreaking discovery reveals a unique way phages modify their DNA with arabinose sugars to protect themselves from bacterial defence systems This innovative discovery could lead to more effective phage therapy to combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria, including Acinetobacter baumannii – a WHO-classified critical priority pathogen responsible for life-threatening infections The research discovered that natural DNA phage modifications occur at a higher rate than previous
