who knew that you could treat a bacterial infection with a virus??!!! well its true(shocking as it may sound). but scientists have been trying to use a specific Bacteriophages to administer treatment to patients suffering from bacterial infections like Staphylococcus, streptococcus, pseudomonas, Salmonella, gastrointestinal and respiratory infections. Some of the advantages are that they can live only on bacteria so once they are injected in the body and fulfill their purpose of killing the bacteria they die so they dont cause harm. the disadvantage of course is that its not easy to administer it.(cant just poke an injection and get them to do it!!!) but this was a method practiced by some scientists many decades ago.. even during the WW2!!!!
