Ameneh Khatami (University of Sydney) and colleagues published a new preprint showing therapeutic monitoring of the host-bacterium-phage interaction in a child. They describe how they treated a 7-year-old with a chronic osteoarticular Pseudomonas infection, and how monitoring phage and bacterial kinetics and the human host response allowed them to adjust dosing early on, leading to a strong therapeutic effect within two weeks. Phage Directory is proud to have helped source phages for this effort, and especially proud of the 12 labs who responded to our alert last summer.
