Hello Members,
I have read the disturbing reports in the various media outlets. . .
"A new gene, NDM-1, emerged which allows bacteria to be highly resistant to almost all antibiotics, scientists have said"
I remember a program which followed a scientist who used Phage therapy, as I understand it bacteriophages evolve unlike antibiotics so, instead of continually trying to find evermore powerfull antibiotics why not use bacteriophages that evolve with and can beat harmfull bacteria?
could anyone on here please explain the processes involved to the layman ie. . me!. and also why its use isn't more widespread?
Thanks
Robert
