Bacteriophage discovery using synthetic biology tools

Bacteriophage discovery using synthetic biology tools enables researchers to engineer phages with enhanced antibacterial properties. These viruses, which infect specific bacterial hosts, are isolated from environmental or clinical samples and characterized for therapeutic potential. Advanced techniques allow for the creation of supercharged synthetic phages, offering new solutions against multidrug-resistant infections. This approach supports the development of targeted treatments and expands possibilities in microbial control and phage therapy.
