Phages could help to tackle antimicrobial resistance
Drug Target Review
DECEMBER 7, 2023
Researchers from the Laboratory of Bacteriology at The Rockefeller University have now found that bacteria sense phages by a defensive response named CBASS (cyclic oligonucleotide-based antiphage signalling system) which detects viral RNA. In bacteria , cGAS-like cyclases are central parts of the CBASS immune response.
