Researchers have concocted a cocktail of bacteria-fighting viruses with the potential to successfully treat antibiotic-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae infections.

Using a mixture of phages, or a phage cocktail’, is more effective against multiple types of bacteria and reduces the risk of phage resistance.

K. pneumoniae are normally harmless bacteria found in the gut but can cause serious illness if they infect other parts of the body.
