Phage therapy: A targeted approach to overcoming antibiotic resistance.

The rise of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections has become a significant global health threat, necessitating the need for alternative therapeutic strategies. The use of bacteriophages-viruses that particularly infect and lyse bacteria-in phage therapy has resurfaced as a potentially effective substitute for conventional antibiotics. This narrative review aims to explore the mechanisms, applications, challenges, and prospects of phage therapy in combating antibiotic-resistant infections.

Leveraging artificial intelligence in vaccine development: A narrative review.

Vaccine development stands as a cornerstone of public health efforts, pivotal in curbing infectious diseases and reducing global morbidity and mortality. However, traditional vaccine development methods are often time-consuming, costly, and inefficient. The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) has ushered in a new era in vaccine design, offering unprecedented opportunities to expedite the process.
