    i remember reading that bacteriophages can be used to treat antibiotic resistant bacterial illnesses, also maybe nanobots equipped with cas9 enzymes to excize the resistance mutated genes to make antibiotics effective again. nucleotids. idk … just a hypothesis. scientists know better

    • Phage libraries have depth, just wish there was more breadth. Since antibiotics took off, only Russia has paid them any mind. But some of the best collections are in the states. Cool to learn how phages are one of the fastest lifeforms regarding mutation though!
