Phage therapy, viral phage therapy, or phagotherapy is the therapeutic use of bacteriophages for the treatment of pathogenic bacterial infections. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] This therapeutic approach emerged at the beginning of the 20th century but was progressively replaced by the use of antibiotics in most parts of the world after the Second World War .
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).
An enlargeable map of the 58 counties of the state of California. This is a list of hospitals in California (), grouped by county and sorted by hospital name. In healthcare in California, only a general acute care hospital or acute psychiatric hospital, as licensed by the California Department of Public Health, can be referred to as a "hospital."
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.

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.
A corynebacteriophage (or just corynephage) is a DNA-containing bacteriophage specific for bacteria of genus Corynebacterium as its host. [1] Corynebacterium diphtheriae virus [2] strain Corynebacterium diphtheriae phage [2] (aka Corynephage β [3] or just β-phage [4] [5]) introduces toxigenicity into strains of Corynebacterium diphtheriae as it encodes diphtheria toxin, [6] [7] [8] [5] [4 ...
