A Virus Found in Wastewater Beat Back a Woman’s ‘Zombie’ Bacteria

In a groundbreaking discovery, researchers have found that a virus found in wastewater was able to successfully combat a woman’s ‘zombie’ bacteria infection.

The woman had been suffering from a drug-resistant bacterial infection that was causing severe health issues. Traditional antibiotics had failed to treat the infection, leading doctors to label the bacteria as ‘zombie’ bacteria due to its resistance to treatment.

However, researchers discovered a phage virus in wastewater that was able to specifically target and kill the drug-resistant bacteria infecting the woman. The virus was able to effectively break down the bacterial cell walls, leading to the destruction of the infection.

This discovery opens up new possibilities for the treatment of drug-resistant bacterial infections and highlights the potential of using phage therapy as an alternative to traditional antibiotics. The use of phage viruses found in wastewater could provide a sustainable and effective solution to combatting stubborn bacterial infections that do not respond to conventional treatments.
