Bacteria that kill bacteria.

We have a terrible problem with bacteria and that is that every day they become more resistant to antibiotics, experts fear that their ability to evolve will soon surpass the power of antibiotics and humanity ends up facing superbugs for which we will not have a remedy.

It is one of the great real threats that humanity is facing in this century, but without antibiotics we could use other trained bacteria to attack the bacteria that cause us diseases, that is what the Spanish scientists from the Center did. of Genomic Regulation and Pulmobiotics that have managed to modify a bacterium so that it fights another that causes an infection that is resistant to antibiotics.

Scientists call it a "living pill" and it is the microplasma pneumoniae bacterium whose pathogenic capacity, that is, its capacity to make us sick, has been eliminated and they have adapted it to work our orders and attack the P. aeruginosa bacterium, a respirator-dwelling superbug that is capable of adhering to various surfaces of the human body and is very difficult to combat with drugs.

The next step in this research will be to do more tests before reaching the clinical trial phase. If everything goes well, we would eventually have a treatment that would be administered with a nebulizer, a device that transforms liquid medication into a mist that is inhaled. through a mouthpiece or mask.

If the tests go well, for the first time in history, instead of giving us a chemical medicine, what we would inhale would be an army of bacteria ready to fight for our health.
