Research finds that phage therapy can eliminate bacteria hidden deep within bladder wall ‘reservoirs’, which normal antibiotics cannot reach

Maset et al. show that bladder conditions strongly influence how urinary tract infections respond to antibiotics and bacteriophages, highlighting the need for more realistic lab models to improve diag...
