AN INTERNATIONAL research team has identified potential new "weapons" in the "arms race" for antibiotics and possible future therapies for a more balanced gut microbiome and human health.
Using DNA sequencing, research led by Flinders University has singled out a few tiny gut viruses, from among hundreds of common Crassvirales bacteriophages or phages found in the human digestive system, that target specific bacterial hosts.
This paves the way for phage therapy to target 'bad' or unbalanced bacteria in the gut, along with possible solutions to antimicrobial resistance when antibiotics no longer work - see more HERE.
