The West Ignores a Natural Bacteria Killer! Will Antibiotics End?

Chapters

About this episode

Antibiotics are losing their power and bacteria are turning into super-resistant killers. What if the solution does not come from a laboratory but from nature - from viruses that destroy bacteria better than any drug? In this episode of TROSHCAST, the invitation was accepted by RNDr. Lucia Bocanova, PhD., a molecular biologist from the Institute of Molecular Biology of the SAS, who studies bacteriophages and their potential in medicine. What are bacteriophages? Why are they the biggest killer on the planet? How can a bacterial infection be cured? How do lytic and lysogenic phages work? Why do MRSA, Klebsiella or Pseudomonas pose a threat to hospitals? What are enzybiotics and how can they break down bacterial biofilm? Is it possible that one day we will truly get rid of antibiotics? What does phage therapy look like? You will find the answers to these questions in the latest episode of TROSHCAST, which is available for FREE! Thank you, it is thanks to you that we can keep bringing new guests and grow together. Because a TROSHKA (a little bit) is enough to change a life. Enjoy listening!
