Thankyou @ConquerCF for your support of this important #phagetherapy research, as covered on @9NewsPerth by @_KelHaywood. Find out more about phage therapy as a treatment option for #antibioticresistant #superbugs 👉bit.ly/3DPP69Q @telethonkids @PCHFWA @PerthChildrens
Perth scientists are tackling superbugs that are resistant to antibiotics. For those with serious diseases like cystic fibrosis, their work is instrumental to keeping them healthy. @_KelHaywood #9News
