Trying to prevent bacteria from developing antimicrobial resistance. At these rates in 30 years antimicrobial resistant bacteria are projected to kill more people than cancer.
I think there are so many new and great ideas in this space but you have to consider how science is funded. Funding bodies and reviewers want incremental research that is safe. This has led to our current situation.
Phage therapy has been around for so long but is only in the last 10 years gained creditability and treated as a path to take.
Ultimately, antimicrobial resistance is incredibly solvable even at a policy level and definitely across many scientific levels. But it requires more cooperation than farms, pharmacies, hospitals, states and countries can muster.

Clearly you need to figure out how to give antibiotic resistant bacteria cancer.
Uncontrolled dividing of the most dangerous bacterias known to man? What could go wrong?
This?
Lol!!! Yes!!!

We really need a big push into bacteriophage research I think. Get the bugs all killing each other so we can keep our antibiotics for emergencies.
