Down with the (antibiotic) resistance!
Phages force problem bacteria to expose themselves to antibiotics.
How do you stop a superbug from fighting an antibiotic? Try giving it another enemy.
Acinetobacter baumannii is a bacterium fairly commonly found in hospitals that can cause infections in the lungs, blood and urinary tract. This fast-mutating bug easily overcomes antibiotics, so it’s difficult to manage.
Now, a team from Australia’s Monash University, led by Fernando Gordilla Altamirano, has found a way to reverse antibiotic resistance in
A. baumannii by using phages to trick the bacteria into letting down their guard.
