Viruses that evolved on the space station and were sent back to Earth were more effective at killing bacteria
Near-weightless conditions can mutate genes and alter the physical structures of bacteria and phages, disrupting their normal ...
Viruses that infect bacteria can still do their job in microgravity, but space changes the rules of the fight.

Phages and bacteria accumulate distinctive mutations aboard the International Space Station
In a new study, terrestrial bacteria-infecting viruses were still able to infect their E. coli hosts in near-weightless "microgravity" conditions aboard the International Space Station, but the ...
In space, bacteriophages mutate in ways not seen on Earth, making them more effective at killing drug-resistant bacteria.
New research shows how surface material and temperature change how long viruses survive and whether they can still spread.
Space-evolved viruses show enhanced killing power against antibiotic-resistant bacteria, offering new pathways for phage ...
