Contents
In a world where the misuse of antibiotics has given rise to multi-resistant bacteria, bacteriophages (virus that infect bacteria) appear as a viable alternative to treat pathogenic bacteria responsible for life threatening diseases. Enroll to learn more about the biology of these fascinating nanomachines, their interaction with the bacteria they target and how they can be modified and used to help Human needs.
