University of Toronto researchers have made the first discovery of a virus that infects Legionella pneumophila, the bacteria ...

Gene therapies could revolutionize medicine, but getting them into peoples' bodies is harder than it might seem. A new method that re-purposes viruses that infect bacteria could provide a solution.

Bacteriophages designed with AI kill E. coli faster than a well-studied strain, but the tech needs regulation before moving beyond lab dishes.

Scientists have created the first ever viruses designed by artificial intelligence (AI), and they’re capable of hunting down and killing strains of Escherichia coli (E. coli). “This is the first time ...
