0:00Welcome to Zoe, Science and Nutrition, where world-leading scientists explain how their research can improve your health.

0:14Tom lies motionless on a hospital bed, sweating, hallucinating.

0:18His body, riddled with bacteria, is rapidly failing.

0:22Just days earlier, he'd been enjoying a holiday in Egypt.

0:26Now, he's close to death.

0:28An antibiotic-resistant superbug is coursing through his veins, and every antibiotic has failed.

0:35This bleak tale plays out every day as antibiotic-resistant bacteria become increasingly common.

0:41But what if science already has an answer to this deadly problem?

0:44And it comes in an unusual form.

0:46A virus that is harmless to humans, but deadly to bacteria.

0:51Thankfully, Tom's wife was a scientist who had heard of these phages.

0:55And with the help of laboratories around the world, she managed to procure some of these magical bacteria killers.
