Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a bacterium
that can cause severe illness in immunocompromised people. As its name
suggests, this microbe is resistant to several antibiotics, making it
difficult to treat. How then, are we supposed to fight back? Researchers
at Yale University, USA, believe they have found an answer in a pond. A
bacteriophage – a type of virus that infect bacteria – that attacks MDR
P. aeruginosa was discovered in Dodge Pond in Connecticut. The
phage latches onto the bacteria’s cell membrane, preventing the latter
from producing enzymes that prevent antibiotics from working, which then
makes MDR P. aeruginosa more susceptible to drugs again.
