Predatory bacteria can help eliminate superbugs: Study
Bacteria that feed on other kinds of bacteria can be used as 'living antibiotics' to help eliminate disease-resistant superbugs, according to UK researchers. Their lab test revealed doses of 'Bdellovibrio' bacteria reduced populations of food-poisoning 'superbug' bacterium up to 4,000 times. Another test reported 'Bdellovibrio' increased survival of superbug-infected fish larvae around 2.4 times.
