Bacteriophage Therapy – A Revolutionary Approach Towards Multi-Resistant Bacteria

Roots Analysis

Bacteria plays a crucial role in maintaining the ecosystem balance. However, there are few species of bacteria that can cause several infectious diseases ( such as strep throat, salmonellosis, tuberculosis, whooping cough ). The overuse of antibiotics has resulted in the emergence of multi-drug-resistant bacteria.
