It saved the life of Hollywood legend Tom Mix before being abandoned by Western science. Now, researchers and physicians are rediscovering the treatment, which pits phage viruses against their natural bacterial hosts, as a potential weapon against antibiotic-resistant infections..The Forgotten Cure. traces the story of phages from Paris, where they were discovered in 1917; to Tbilisi, Georgia, where one of phage therapy’s earliest proponents died at the hands of Stalin; to the Nobel podium, where prominent scientists have been recognized for breakthroughs stemming from phage research. Today, a crop of biotech startups and dedicated physicians is racing to win regulatory approval for phage therapy before superbugs exhaust the last drug in the medical arsenal. Will they clear the hurdles in time? . | | 出版日期 | Book 2012 | | 关键词 | Alternative therapy; Phages; Probiotics | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4614-0251-0 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4899-8681-8 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4614-0251-0 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2012 |
