Dr. Qimron's liquid utilizes bacteriophages, which are viruses that infect bacteria. These particular bacteriophages have been genetically engineered, to alter the genetic make-up of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. More specifically, these alterations restore a gene within the super-bacteria's ribosome, which the bacteria lose in the process of becoming antibiotic-resistant.
