After eight weeks of phage therapy, in conjunction with 12 weeks of antibiotics, no evidence of Acinetobacter baumannii was found in Patterson's body following June 6, 2016. [ 5 ] [ 8 ] After positive media attention from Patterson's phage therapy, [ 9 ] [ 10 ] [ 11 ] Schooley and Strathdee began to receive phage therapy requests from around ...
Phage therapy is the use of bacteriophages to treat bacterial infections. Bacteriophage treatment offers a possible alternative to conventional antibiotic treatments for bacterial infection. [55] It is conceivable that, although bacteria can develop resistance to phages, the resistance might be easier to overcome than resistance to antibiotics.
The George Eliava Institute of Bacteriophage, Microbiology and Virology [1] (aka Tbilisi Institute) has been active since the 1930s in the field of phage therapy, which is used to combat microbial infection (cf. antibiotic-resistant strains).

Robert "Chip" T. Schooley (born November 10, 1949) is an American infectious disease physician, who is the Vice Chair of Academic Affairs, Senior Director of International Initiatives, and Co-Director at the Center for Innovative Phage Applications and Therapeutics (IPATH), at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine.
Since bacteria become resistant against a single phage, d'Herelle suggested using "phage cocktails" containing different phage strains. Phage therapy soon became a boom, and a great hope in medicine. In 1924, 25 January, d'Hérelle received the honorary doctorate of the University of Leiden , [ 14 ] as well as the Leeuwenhoek medal , which is ...
Phage therapy has many potential applications in human medicine as well as dentistry, veterinary science, and agriculture. [ 270 ] Phage therapy relies on the use of naturally occurring bacteriophages to infect and lyse bacteria at the site of infection in a host.
