Questions for Belgium - thanks for all the inputs!!
1) MAC is a group of bacteria, are you able to identify how many bacteria in my MAC? How does phage work ? Do you develop multiple virus to attack different strains of bacteria. Or you just use one virus to attack this group of bacteria? How long does it take to develop one virus, what is the cost?

2) If the immune systems were stimulated, will it make phage ineffective? I've seen cases that phage became ineffective after 6 months and the patient died. If there any side effects for phage therapy?

3) Have you ever treated any other patient with NTM-MAC and how effective is phage therapy?
