Bacteriophages are beneficial viruses that could change the course of medicine and agriculture, especially as antibiotic resistance grows worldwide.
Tohid Didar and Zeinab Hosseinidoust are working with a social enterprise to create a more hygienic menstrual cup that can also detect and fight infection.
McMaster researchers have developed a way to coax bacteriophages into linking together and forming microscopic beads. Those beads can safely be applied to food and other materials to rid them of harmful pathogens.
