The US researchers in their recent development said that they have discovered the viruses that can infect bacterias in kitchen sponges, and this may turn out to be useful in battling bacteria that cannot be killed by antibiotics alone. The study revealed that the 2 researchers used the bacteria as bait and identified 2 phages or bacteria-eating organisms, which could swallow bacteria from their own used kitchen sponges.
