International group of scientists found a previously unknown type of virus in the tests of fluids of the human body. Researchers have been looking for viruses that infect bacteria known as bacteriophages. The team has identified a total of 43 bacteriophage in the specimens of human body fluids. Therefore, information about the prevalence and frequency of phages in humans, as well as the relationship between them is required. Conclusions of the group from the University of Medical Sciences. Karl Landsteiner, under the guidance of Vienna University of Veterinary Medicine, which are currently published in the international journal, will make a significant contribution in this respect. Groups around the world have studied phages in humans.

The balance between different types of bacteria is crucial to health. In addition, phages attack certain bacteria that, in turn, can seriously disrupt the bacterial balance.

“Increasing antibiotic resistance is a major problem that grows around the world, and we still know very little about how phages contribute to this.” – said in the study.
