Wonder if we'll see a resurgence of phage therapy due to this.

Phage therapy is using viruses which will infect and attack the bacteria. Viruses can mutate and adapt just as well as bacteria (while say antibiotics are static in a way). So they can keep up with the mutations.

It is a pretty crazy but also ingenious approach.
