In this episode, learn about an alternative to antibiotics: phage therapy! We're here to give an overview of bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria) and the complex history of phage therapy. Listen in to learn a little about how bacteriophages can be used to treat bacterial infections in humans and why phage therapy isn't mainstream in the US despite being discovered before antibiotics!

ARMOR on the Air is a student-led podcast based out of the University of Colorado Boulder. We discuss the antimicrobial resistance crisis and what we as members of the public can do to help! Join our host, undergraduate student Ezra, as we learn more about superbugs and how to stop them!

ARMOR is an outreach organization at CU Boulder. We promote safe and responsible use of antibiotics, support research into new antibiotics, and encourage the public to take steps in their daily lives to limit development of more superbugs!
