Bacteria and their viral “devourers” have been locked in a timeless battle. Now, as bacterial infections become antibiotic resistant, we are turning to these same viruses (“phage”) to treat disease. Could phage therapy replace antibiotics? How do phage overcome bacterial defences and beat resistance? Meaghan Castledine, a PhD student at the University of Exeter, discusses her research on phage therapy.

We will be hosting the talk on Zoom and will email you a link to this meeting at 10am on the day of the talk.
