Investigating bacteria-bacteriophage diversity to develop phage libraries for treatment of bacterial infections
Investigating bacteria-bacteriophage diversity to develop phage libraries for treatment of bacterial infections
About the Project Project Overview The World Health Organisation (WHO) predicts antimicrobial resistant (AMR) infections will be the leading cause of death globally by 2050. Bacteriophages, or “phages”, are viruses … Read More Read More
