Stanford bioengineers have developed synthetic bacteriophages using AI that outperform natural ones in killing E. coli. These lab-created viruses are not only effective but also more infectious, offering a promising solution for tackling bacterial infections. This breakthrough could change the game in medical treatments, making it possible to fight resistant strains that traditional antibiotics can’t touch.
