That would be great Linda, look forward to more details.

I have been following phage studies and I am not clear if this would work for pseudomonas that are antibacterial resistant and if it therefore eradicates the pseudomonas.

A huge step forward for people with CF and non-CF Bronchiectasis with mucoid pseudomonas!

Customized Phages can be developed if your pseudo is resistant to the standard Phages. Even with Phages the Pseudomonas is usually knocked back significantly but not eradicated. But side effects are not supposed to be an issue. Also using Phages and antibiotics together is not a conflict and can be very effective.
