Outsmarting Bacterial Evolution in Phage Therapy

Bacteria are great at evolving resistance to anything that we throw at them. This has caused antibiotic resistance crisis. We discuss smart approaches to use phages, viruses infecting bacteria, as therapeutics. TL;DR: phages (enemy of the enemy) can allow us to use bacteria’s fast evolution AGAINST them!
