Yale researchers have discovered a virus that attacks bacteria, also known as bacteriophage (or "phage"), which is capable of infecting Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a highly-feared bacterial pathogen.
MDR bacteria
Hospital-acquired infections are a major public health concern the risk of getting an infection while in the hospital is roughly 1 in 20. They are also an especially substantial burden because they are often difficult to treat due to their antibiotic resistance (therefore being dubbed superbugs). Just a few of these bacteria include MRSA, VRE, and CRE, which the CDC refers to as nightmare bacteria.
