In the back of my mind, I knew that if I got an antibiotic resistant infection in the US - an infection that didn’t respond to a few rounds of different drugs - I’d fly ASAP to Tbilisi, Georgia to go to the Phage Therapy Center.
I’m beyond excited about this. Not only are phages useful as another option in fighting resistant infection, they’re targeted: the phages can be engineering to only kill specific bacteria, unlike traditional antibiotics. Your gut bacteria would be spared!
