    How Phages Use Tiny RNA to Hijack Bacteria and Boost Replication

    Introduction: A New Dimension in Phage Therapy As antibiotic-resistant infections threaten global health, researchers are turning to bacteriophages—viruses that infect bacteria—as a potential alternative or supplement to conventional antibiotics. A recent study has shed light on a surprising mechanism: bacteriophages using a tiny piece of RNA to hijack bacterial cellular machinery and boost their own…
