Hello Irene, As you can see from Linda's (@becleartoday) posts, this Phage treatment is being offered in Tlibisi, Georgia in Europe.
In addition to the link she provided to one of the clinics, here is the link to a published paper describing three patients and the illnesses they are treating, their specific results and descriptions of the currently fluid nature of the process.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8540005/
To find the information about pseudomonas specifically, search the article for the term. You can do this by pressing <Ctrl><F> and a search box will pop up. Type in pseudomonas to find what you are looking for.

I would say this is an emerging, very promising therapy. There is a lot of research and testing underway, & I hope it will soon include those in our group.
Sue

Thank you Sue. I feel so dumb because i thought this was in GA in the USA. But does UCSD offer some sort of treatment or did i misunderstand that also. There was an email provided for applying to some sort of treatment and i thought that was UCSD. Again i may have this all wrong. It sounds like this is not available in the USA and the trials going on involve CF patients only. It does sound promising but too far in the future for many of us.
