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.

Research published in Science shows that a naturally occurring bacterium discovered by GSK scientists – Delftia tsuruhatensis Tres Cantos 1 (TC1) – could be the basis for new anti-malarial interventions. The results suggest TC1 has potential to inhibit the development of all malaria parasites which affect humans (P. ovale and P.

But with hundreds of bacterial species populating our gastrointestinal tract, it’s a daunting task to pinpoint which molecules made by which bacteria affect which biological processes—and how they do so. Such knowledge is essential for learning how to manipulate gut bacteria to treat or prevent illness.
