On the ISS, viruses can still infect bacteria, but the process slows and pushes both organisms to evolve along different ...
Viruses that infect bacteria can still do their job in microgravity, but space changes the rules of the fight.
In space, bacteriophages mutate in ways not seen on Earth, making them more effective at killing drug-resistant bacteria.
In a new study, terrestrial bacteria-infecting viruses were still able to infect their E. coli hosts in near-weightless ...

Virus-Built Silver Nanoparticles Show Promise Against Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria
Virus-built silver nanoparticles kill drug-resistant bacteria at ultra-low doses and slow resistance development by 10-fold.
Researchers uncover a notorious cholera strain that contains sophisticated immune systems to fend off viruses, which potentially helped it to fuel a devastating epidemic across Latin America. When we ...
