Article Synopsis
  • Jumbo phages, which have large genomes and unique life cycles, use a special structure to protect their DNA from host immune systems like CRISPR-Cas, but their overall genetic diversity and interactions with these systems need more exploration.* -
  • Analysis of 331 jumbo phage genomes revealed that there are no universally conserved "core genes," but seven "soft-core genes" important for DNA functions were identified, highlighting the genetic variety among these viruses.* -
  • The study also found that jumbo phages often exchange genes among themselves and with other viruses, suggesting a complex evolutionary history, and many can potentially evade host immunity through various mechanisms.*

Successful development of phage-based therapeutics and their utility predominantly depend on the mode and route of phage administration. Topical and site-directed phage application evokes minimal immune clearance and allows more phage-host adsorption, thereby ensuring higher phage efficacy. However, a notable drawback of conventional topical phage applications is the absence of sustained release.
