Bacteriophage Therapy: A Promising Solution to Antibiotic Resistance

Advarra

Some have argued bacteria are developing antibiotic resistance faster than we can research, develop, test and approve new antibiotics. One possible solution to antibiotic resistance: bacteriophages (or phages), which are viruses that infect bacteria. Antibiotic resistance is an emerging problem.
