Ever since the discovery of Penicillin, infectious disease therapies have focused on targeting the offending pathogen by using anti-microbial approaches. However, microbes have evolved for billions of years and have mechanisms that allow them to escape such strategies as evidenced by high degree of antibiotic resistance.
