"Super bacteria" caused by factors such as antibiotic abuse has been a problem that has plagued the medical profession. Mikael Skournik, a professor of bacteriology at the University of Helsinki in Finland, believes that phage may be used to deal with "super bacteria."

"Super bacteria" are bacteria that are resistant to multiple antibiotics. According to the World Health Organization, 700,000 people worldwide die from “superbug” infections each year, including 230,000 newborns. Phage is a virus that is specifically hosted by bacteria. It can invade bacteria and continuously replicate its own genes, eventually phagocytizing bacteria, and is therefore considered a natural enemy of bacteria.

Skoulnik said in an interview with Xinhua News Agency recently that each phage only attacks a very limited number of bacteria and is almost specific to a certain kind of bacteria, so it may not produce normal bacteria in the human body. Bad effects.

According to Sculnik, humans discovered phage and studied it at the beginning of the last century, but with the advent of antibiotics, interest in phage therapy in Western countries has gradually become indifferent. However, countries such as Russia, Poland, and Georgia have been conducting phage research. The University of Helsinki has also begun to build its own phage research center in recent years.

Currently, Sculnik's research team has collected approximately 250 phage. He believes that the establishment of a better phage library requires between 1,000 and 2,000 different phage, "but collecting so many types of phage takes a long time and many resources."

Skulknik hopes to gradually enrich the phage library to find and cultivate phage that can fight against "super bacteria." He said that phage therapy has good prospects for both human and animal and plant bacterial infections.
