Scientists have discovered two strains of a previously unknown bacteria-eating virus in waterways in Melbourne’s northern suburbs, according to a study. These lab-generated strains have demonstrated varying degrees of ability to kill antibiotic-resistant superbugs commonly found in hospitals. The research team hopes that these results will serve as a premise for finding more virus strains in nature that have the potential to destroy superbugs.
