Scientists Use Molecular Scissors to Engineer Super Viruses for Fighting Bacterial Infections!

In order to alter the genetic makeup of viruses that infect bacteria, researchers have created a clever new tool (called “phages”). This device functions as a molecular pair of scissors that can cut and paste DNA fragments to produce new viruses with unique characteristics.

These brand-new viruses may one day be employed to treat bacterial illnesses in both people and animals. The fact that these viruses are highly selective and won’t harm the healthy bacteria in our bodies is the finest aspect.

Studies have really demonstrated that employing these viruses to treat bacterial illnesses can be quite successful and have no negative effects. This suggests that in the future, we may be able to create novel treatments using these virus tools. Very amazing, huh?
