Viruses that infect bacteria can be repurposed as programmable biological systems for targeting antimicrobial resistant (AMR) infections, a major global health challenge. These viral infection programs operate through coordinated gene expression modules that reconfigure the host cell. However, predicting and controlling their behaviour remains diff…
