A fully synthetic virus that kills bacteria efficiently and is less likely to cause resistance to bacteria could help the medical community address the growing problem of antibiotic resistance to some of the disease-causing bacteria, according to a new study by the UK's National Physical Laboratory.
with the abuse of antibiotics in many places, many bacteria have begun to show resistance, some so-called "superbugs" even most of the existing antibiotics are resistant, once infected with humans are difficult to treat.
the medical community has been developing new antibiotics, but the rate of development is significantly behind the rate at which bacteria develop resistance.
researchers at the National Physical Laboratory in the UK and other institutions report in a recent study published in the British journal Nature That they have synthesized a virus in the lab that, like a miniature drone, can find bacterial cells in the microscopic world and launch attacks that can destroy entire bacteria by touching and destroying cell membranes.
, some antibiotics previously needed to get into bacterial cells and hit a target inside to produce results.
the way this synthetic virus destroys bacterial cells means that bacteria are less resistant to it, helping to address bacterial resistance.
and one of the authors of the report, National Physical Laboratory scholar Max Ryadenov, said the study may lead to new long-term and effective treatments for infectious diseases.
