Researchers have found a virus that kills dormant bacteria, a discovery that could help to combat infections that can’t be treated with antibiotics. For the first time, ETH Zurich researchers in Switzerland have isolated a bacteriophage from rotting plant material that can attack and kill bacteria in a dormant state.
