Description:

As bacteria are becoming increasingly more resistant to antibiotics, a solution might lie in a therapy based on bacteriophage viruses, a long-forgotten Canadian discovery. Although this therapy is not yet approved in the Western World, it is used by doctors in the former Soviet republic of Georgia. This documentary shows the history and scientific grounds of this discovery as well as follows two patients ailed by antibiotic resistance whom the bacteriophage could save. <48mn 55s>
