      I’ve got at least 55 research papers (these are articles we write when we make a scientific discovery). One of the research paper highlights use of viruses to kill bacteria. These viruses are called bacteriophages (bacterio=associated with bacteria, phagos=eat). Yes, there are viruses on planet that can actually eat bacteria. It is because we are looking for new solutions to tackle the problem of antibiotic resistance (ie to prevent bacteria from becoming powerful against antibiotics).
