| | Phage therapy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Phage therapy is an alternative to antibiotics, being developed for clinical use by many western research groups in Europe and the US. | | | The most clear benefit of phage therapy is that bacteria cannot easily develop resistance to phages, so the technique is likely to be devoid of the problems similar to antibiotic resistance. | | | The success rate was as good as, if not better than any antibiotic, and Russian researchers continued to develop and to refine their treatments and to publish their research and results. |

| | Phage therapy, as a clinical method, was rejected altogether in the West upon the discovery, immediate popularization, and wide-scale dissemination of penicillin in the early 1940s. | | | The accumulated Western analytic knowledge of phage structure, functions, and mechanisms of host interaction has yet to be merged with the Eastern body of knowledge, which draws additionally on a hands-on, empirical, and clinical experience of phage ecology and phage interaction with bacterial and mammalian systems. | | | Phage therapy had been spurred by the chronic shortage of adequate and sufficient antibiotics. |

| | The possibility of "phage therapy" has recently attracted new interest among medical researchers, however, owing to the increasing threat posed by drug-resistant bacteria. | | | Phages were also used in an attempt to destroy bacteria that cause epidemic diseases, but this approach was largely abandoned in the 1940s when antibacterial drugs became available. | | | The phages have been much used in the study of bacterial genetics and cellular control mechanisms largely because the bacterial hosts are so easily grown and infected with phage in the laboratory. |

| | However, phage therapy proved more difficult than initially hoped and the discovery of effective antibiotics caused phage therapy to fall into disfavor in the west. | | | For more information on the potential of phage to treat bacterial infections, see the nice summary of phage therapy written by Betty Kutter. | | | The idea that phage may be useful to cure bacterial infections has been around since the discovery of phage. |
