"Engineering Viruses to Assassinate Superbugs: A Promising Solution"

Researchers have discovered a virus, named Paride, that can target and kill dormant bacteria, including the dangerous Pseudomonas aeruginosa, when combined with the antibiotic meropenem. This breakthrough could offer a new strategy in the fight against drug-resistant bacteria, or superbugs, which are increasingly resistant to existing drugs. The virus seems to unlock the bacteria's defenses, allowing the antibiotic to effectively destroy it. While this discovery holds promise, further research is needed to fully understand and harness the potential of using bacteriophages to combat superbugs.
