Listen "Nature's Answer to Antibiotic Resistance - Dr Heather Hendrickson"
Episode Synopsis
Dr Heather Hendrickson, President of the New Zealand Microbiological Society, explores bacteriophages, or phages—viruses that target bacteria—as a promising weapon against antibiotic resistance. With bacterial pathogens increasingly resistant and new antibiotics scarce, phages offer a natural solution. Dr Hendrickson explains how New Zealand is harnessing these "nature's ninjas" to protect honey bees and crops, and how this approach is paving the way for their use in human medicine, already saving lives globally.
