Jyoti Madhusoodanan writes in the article "Viral Soldiers" that the future of fighting bacteria may just be viruses. Also known as "bacteriophages" these viruses attack bacteria and input their own genetic code. After the bacteria has made as many viruses as possible, it explodes and releases all of the new bacteria inside of it. Bacteria is not as new of an invention as we think. It has been recorded as useful as early as 1610. Back then they used viruses found in feces and used it on diseases including dysentery and staphylocuccus skin infections. I'm not sure if this is going to work, if it's gonna be a distant future, or if it's simply jibberish. I hope that it will work soon because of the of the biotic resistant bacteria forming.
