Novel Strategy Unveiled for Battling Bacterial Infections
==========

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have identified a new approach to controlling bacterial infections. They have discovered a defense system called cyclic oligonucleotide-based antiphage signaling system (CBASS) that can be activated to fight and manage bacterial infections. The team found that a protein called Cap5, activated by cyclic nucleotides, can destroy the bacterial cell's own DNA. The researchers plan to explore how their discoveries apply to other types of bacteria and assess whether their method can be used to manage infections caused by various harmful bacteria.
