The solution to antibiotic resistance could be in your kitchen sponge
Researchers from the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) have discovered bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, living in their kitchen sponges.

The research is presented at ASM Microbe, the annual meeting of the American Society for Microbiology.
