This is the deadliest virus on our planetβ¦ but, human cells are safe. The deadliest virus on our planet only feasts on bacteria, aptly named: Bacteriophage – bacteria eater. Now that our antibiotics aren’t as effective against the ever-evolving multiresistant bacteria, phages are a promising tool for defending ourselves in the future. They are highly specialized so they only attack the bacteria theyβre supposed to, reducing the side effects of a treatment.

This is the deadliest virus on our planet. It consists of a tiny 20-yfaced die that harbors its DNA and a tube with a pointy spike for docking onto its prey. Once docked, it inserts its DNA into the victim to replicate itself. The host is powerless and can only wait for its destruction. A blast that spews out new phasages that can repeat the process. But human cells are safe. The deadliest virus on our planet only feasts on bacteria. It’s aptly named bacteria phagee, bacteria eater. Now that our antibiotics aren’t as effective against the ever evolving multi-resistant bacteria, phages are a promising tool for defending ourselves in the future. They’re highly specialized, so they only attack the bacteria that they’re supposed to, reducing the side effects of a treatment. And now you can have a fagee to protect your very own home. Instead of bacteria, it devours bad vibes and lonely days. And with six tails, it can give much tighter hugs than anyone

…. This can't possibly go wrong and inadvertently create a mass extinction event! π±
Why is no one talking about what the duck and the phage did at the end
uh it looks a little similar to one of mums toys in fact
I have bro
Except a squid.
Except squid hugs are often slimy.
This lil guy inspired my company logo πβ€π
IM LEGEND intro startπ
So basically after "taming" its the best antibiotic
These were very common in the soviet Union until later on π Stalin didn't believe in antibiotics, he used to say that they made doctors lazy and would cause problems in the long run… he directed soviet doctors to investigate a "healing pool" near his home town in Georgia. They discovered some of the earliest known Bacteriophages. It requires more work to use a Bacteriophage, as described in the video, you need to identify the bacterial family first, but, they are relatively cheap to produce, and once injected they keep going until the target bacteria are all dead… so there is no room for resistance π because of Stalin, there are a large number of known effective Bacteriophages against most known families of infectious bacteria…. meaning antibiotics resistance is not really an issue for those with access to that library of phages.
Deadliest but cutest virus
Deadlyβ
UsefulβοΈ
It's actually a LOT more important than it seems. A lot of bacteria these days get immunity from antibiotics, and the most horrific thing is that there might be a day when antibiotics will never work, so this little bacteriophage will help us a ton.
Humans are by far the least dangerous per encounter. Obviously.
Does Alien Face-hugger inspired from bacteriophage? π€
Basically βHUGGY WUGGYβ
Instead of buying your plush I took a stuffed hamster from my grandmas house that has a hole through its side so you can stick your hand in it
The pkmn Battle πβ€
And its man made
Yes, but does it mean I can hurt good bacteria?
Now I want a pokemon rom hack of this. π

Cancer I guess has taken classes from this virus
what if it mutates
Why this virus only prey for bacteria .
Not human cells ???
What if it mutates to attack human cell too??
I love subtitleβ€
so is the virus helpful?
(Me thinking it was in injector for Steven universe in the kindergarten and from when spinel was killing the earth)
Face huger.
βOk, but can it run doom?β
I feel like I've seen this movie before.
What about the black plague
They're specialized – for now. Then they turn on their human hosts
Human cells: no u no kill me lol
Bacteria: you shall be punished imbecile.
