Original: 40-year mystery solved: Common gut virus infects bacteria, not human cells
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine report that a common virus long found in the human gut infects bacteria rather than human cells, resolving a question that has persisted for roughly four decades. The finding clarifies how the virus operates in the digestive system and could reshape understanding of the gut microbiome and its role in health.
Why now: A long-standing scientific puzzle about a common human virus has just been resolved, drawing wide interest.
