In space, bacteriophages mutate in ways not seen on Earth, making them more effective at killing drug-resistant bacteria.
Some viruses, known as bacteriophages, only infect bacterial cells, often destroying those bacteria in the process. Bacteria, in turn, can develop defenses against these viruses. Bacteriophages or ...
