Killing Bacteria using Bacteriophage / Phages Viruses was created by Archer
I recently heard about something called Bacteriophages (also known as Phages) - They are basically viruses that seek out and kill bacteria,
They are extremely interesting - but most people have never heard of them - it seems they are used much more in the former USSR countries.
They could be used to kill bacteria that don't respond to antibiotics

Scientists and physicians at University of California San Diego School of Medicine, working with colleagues at the U.S. Navy Medical Research Center (NMRC), Texas A&M University, a San Diego-based biotech and elsewhere, have successfully used an experimental therapy involving bacteriophages — viruses that target and consume specific strains of bacteria — to treat a patient near death from a multidrug-resistant bacterium.

Tom Patterson was dying from a superbug infection and all antibiotics had failed. Find out how his wife, Dr. Steffanie Strathdee, saved his life from the terrible antibiotic-resistant infection by utilizing
bacteriophages, viruses found in sewage. This gut wrenching story is one of undying love and perseverance, and a forgotten, seemingly miraculous cure hat may help overturn the global antimicrobial resistance crisis.
