Bacteriophages
- Question
- Hello,
I know, that the phage therapy is not licensed, yet. However, I wonder, how far research is concerning the fight against germs like MRSA, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylcoccus aureus. I myself have Pseudomonas and Staph. aureus colonization, my sister, also suffering from CF, has MRSA that is actually treated for the second time.
Many thanks for your efforts.
- Answer
- Hello,
especially in Russia bacteriophages are an important topic, especially in case of Staphylcocci and the special form of MRSA (methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus) in wounds. The usage in the frame of clinical routine is not yet possible.
Best regards,
Prof. Dr. TOF Wagner
