Microbial approaches for targeting antibiotic-resistant bacteria SUMMARY: Aside from phage therapy, another way to fight antibiotic resistant bacteria is by focusing on the gut microbiome. This article talks about targeting resistant bacteria via phages, stopping the growth and spread of resistant bacteria by recovering the normal gut microbiome of the person, and possibly using other… Continue reading Using Microbes to Fight Microbes
