The MRSA "superbug", a bacterium resistant to multiple antibiotics, is responsible for many post-operative deaths. As MRSA adapts to more antibiotics, scientists turn to a natural foe of these bugs: bacteriophage, a virus that specifically attacks the bacteria. Watch this videocast to learn about researchers in Scotland who have developed new ways to use these bacteriophages in treatment.
