I have been following phage therapy for years and it’s exciting to see it getting more attention. People used to go to Georgia near Russia to get phages. Now there is a large phage bank in Pittsburgh. The research seems to mostly address m. abscessus and Pseudomonas.

Hi Linda - you are right about where the current phage research is focusing. My guess is that is because those two are much larger issues than just among the Bronch, COPD & CF populations. Recalcitrant Pseudomonas and m. abscessus are also issues for wound infections and hospital acquired infections.
But the development for those opens the door...
