@lynne5 Thanks for the informative article. I find it especially interesting that 2 of the "targeted" bacteria are our enemies Pseudomonas Aueringosa and Mycobacteria Abscessus. It will be interesting to see how this develops.
Won't it be great if 6-8 years down the road we talk about curing our infections instead of just controlling them?
