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

A recent discovery has shed light on a remarkable case where a virus found in wastewater played a crucial role in fighting off a woman’s ‘zombie’ bacteria infection. The woman, who had been battling a severe bacterial infection that was resistant to antibiotics, was facing a grim prognosis until researchers uncovered the surprising potential of the virus.

The virus, known as a bacteriophage, was found in wastewater samples and was identified as a potential candidate for treating the woman’s infection. Bacteriophages are viruses that specifically target and infect bacteria, offering a promising alternative to traditional antibiotics.

After receiving treatment with the bacteriophage, the woman’s infection showed signs of improvement and eventually cleared up completely. This groundbreaking case highlights the potential of using bacteriophages as a novel approach to combating antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
