It started as a respiratory illness – or so everyone thought. But it quickly became apparent that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, was so much more.

Bacteria are constantly evolving to protect themselves from bacteriophages, or viruses. When it comes to human health, understanding how bacteria can be infected is crucial, as several bacteria ...
