Using viruses to treat MRSA infections

[popeyespappy]

Research into using bacteriophage therapy to fight bacterial infections has been going on for decades. It has received a lot of attention from researchers recently due to the rise of antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria. Some of the research looks very promising.

Phages are viruses that seek out, infect and kill bacteria. BYU researchers have successfully used them to save beehives from American foulbrood, and now they are harnessing their abilities to find MRSA and eliminate it.

I wonder how could those species of bacteria got multi resistant.... Oh Goddidit.

No need to research that. just pray.

SOrry, couldn't help it. Thanks popeye.

I'd think the 1st Amendment would preclude creationists/IDers from being treated for any evolved pathogen as their beliefs preclude them from existing. Doctors would be subject to malpractice litigation for treating illnesses that cannot/do not exist.
