Some bacteria deploy tiny spearguns to retaliate against rival attacks. Researchers mimicked attacks by poking bacteria with an ultra-sharp tip. Using this approach, they have uncovered that bacteria assemble their nanoweapons in response to cell envelope damage and rapidly strike back with high precision.

Antibiotic resistance is making bacterial infections harder to treat, demanding new therapeutic strategies. A new review highlights bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs) as promising nanoscale tools that can kill pathogens, block infection, enhance vaccines, and deliver drugs. By integrating genetic, chemical, and physical engineering, researchers demonstrate how BEVs can be transformed into customizable "nanoweapons." This approach could reshape infection treatment by enabling safer, targeted, and more effective alternatives to conventional antibiotics. Bacterial infections remain a major global health challenge, causing millions of deaths each year and increasingly resisting conventional treatments. While antibiotics have long been the cornerstone of infection control, their overuse and limited targeting ability have accelerated the rise of antimicrobial resistance. At the same time, the slow pace of new antibiotic development has created an urgent need for innovative strategies that can effectively prevent and treat infections without contributing to resistance. Addressing this challenge, a team of researchers led by Professor Honggang Hu and Dr. Yejiao Shi from the Institute of Translational Medicine, ChinaShanghai University, along with Professor Cuiping Zhang and Dr. Xi Liu, a researcheres at the Medical Innovation Research Department, PLA General Hospital and PLA Medical College, Beijing, China, explored the emerging potential of bacterial extracellular vesicles...
