"Revolutionary Wastewater Virus Defeats Drug-Resistant Bacteria"

A woman with a persistent bacterial infection was successfully treated with an experimental phage therapy, using viruses found in wastewater to target the specific bacteria in her bloodstream. While the treatment initially cleared her infection, the bacteria eventually evolved to resist the phage, and the therapy triggered an immune reaction in the patient. This case highlights both the potential and limitations of phage therapy in combating drug-resistant bacterial infections, with ongoing clinical trials aiming to optimize its effectiveness.
