Ett team ledd av University of Otago, med samarbetspartners vid Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, har löst 3D-strukturen av Bas63, en bakteriofag som infekterar E. coli. Publicerat i Science Advances (online den 12 november 2025; nummer daterat 14 november 2025), beskriver arbetet sällsynta svansdrag och kan informera rationell fagdesign för medicinska, jordbruks- och industriella användningar.
As antibiotics increasingly fail, researchers at AIIMS Delhi are leading the battle against superbugs through early diagnosis, biomarker research, and rational antibiotic use. A recent case of a 50-year-old man with resistant bacterial meningitis underscores the urgency. The institute is running multiple projects to slow down antimicrobial resistance.
