Antibiotics are not enough in the war against pathogens.
Using phage army to decontaminate foodWhat’s quite interesting is that the current study reveals a completely different phage-based approach. What would you prefer, getting sick and then taking an antibiotic to fix your health or spraying your food before it even makes you sick? Using phages as a food decontamination spray might prove to be the most convenient and effective way ofThe spray releases numerous microbeads.
0157. They believe their spray can also save people from food-borne illnesses resulting due to Listeria and Salmonella infections. As far asEven the FDA has also approved the use of. Interestingly, unlike antibiotics that kill both good and bad bacteria, phages can be designed to perform selective attacks. Meaning that the phages released from the spray will only harm pathogens and not other microbes that are beneficial to human health and taste.
Moreover, the use of this spray is not just limited to disinfecting food, it can also be employed to clean water, food packaging, and even agricultural equipment. The researchers are currently testing the use of their spray in the treatment of injuries and wounds. These tests will further validate the safety of this product. However, we are still not sure when the spray will become commercially available.Nanofilamentous bacteriophages are biofunctional, self-propagating, and monodisperse natural building blocks for virus-built materials. Minifying phage-built materials to microscale offers the promise of expanding the range function for these biomaterials to sprays and colloidal bioassays/biosensors.
