VN-PHAGE: A platform of in silico bacteriophage screening for antimicrobial resistance (VNPHAGE - VietNam Precise Host-strain Assignment & Genomic Evaluation platform)

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major global health threat. We will need novel alternatives to, or co-therapies for, existing antibiotics. Bacteriophages (“phages”), viruses that infect bacteria, have emerged as a promising candidate.
