By 2050, superbugs are predicted to become the second biggest cause of human death, after heart disease.
But a new treatment called phage therapy, which involves injecting the superbug with trillions of viruses, is being developed by Australian researchers. And, they've just embarked on their first human trial.
Could this experimental therapy save the lives of the patients involved and potentially millions in the future?
Guests:
Naomi, health advocate from Flinders Island who lives with a superbug
Emma Watts, writer and director of SBS documentary Last Chance to Save a Life
Associate Professor Jeremy Barr, head of the Bacteriophage Biology Research Group at Monash University
