This NPR article discusses Locus Biosciences' upcoming E. coli urinary tract infection phage therapy trial and interviews one of the trial volunteers—Alfonso Evans, a US Army veteran who was paralyzed by a spinal cord injury and thus suffers frequent UTIs—and a physician involved in the trial, Dr. Michael Priebe of the Norwood VA Medical Center in Augusta, Georgia, USA. Starting later this year, volunteers will receive a cocktail of Locus' CRISPR-engineered phages to test their safety.
