Genetically modified phages deliver bacterial toxins to combat multidrug-resistant E. coli

At the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB)—Flanders Institute for Biotechnology (VIB), biologist Jessie Vandierendonck has been investigating new, alternative treatments to combat bacterial infections using (bacterio)phages, viruses that attack and destroy bacteria. The findings are published in the journal Microbiology Spectrum.
