Phage

Enrollment has begun in an early-stage clinical trial evaluating bacteriophage therapy in adults with cystic fibrosis (CF) who carry Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) in their lungs. The trial is evaluating whether the bacteriophage,…

For the first time, scientists have designed a phage combination therapy that can precisely target and suppress gut bacteria associated with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Presented on August 4 in the journal Cell, the work showcases…

The number of reported cases using viruses to treat deadly Mycobacteriuminfections just went up by a factor of five. In a new study, a team led by researchers from the University of Pittsburgh and the University of California San Diego…

Antibiotic resistance represents a major public health challenge, associated with a high mortality rate. While bacteriophages -- viruses that kill bacteria -- could be a solution for fighting antibiotic-resistant pathogens, various…

As antibiotics increasingly develop resistance to bacteria that cause infection, scientists have moved a step closer to harnessing viruses as an alternative form of therapy. Phage therapy is the concept of using viruses (known as phage) to…

Phage therapy was first used in 1919, when Parisian microbiologist Felix d'Herelle gave a phage cocktail to a 12-year-old boy, apparently curing his severe dysentery. Yet despite early promise, research…

Patna, July 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Antibiotics resistance has now become one of the biggest challenges globally for the healthcare industry; thereby, giving rise to extensive research across phage therapy market. Overuse of…

The threat of antibiotic resistance rises as bacteria continue to evolve to foil even the most powerful modern drug treatments. By 2050, antibiotic resistant-bacteria threaten to claim more than 10 million lives as existing therapies prove…

The session will provide attendees with an understanding of the practicalities of phage use in various types of production environments and different food products.…
