New Case Reports with Phage Therapy-What is Needed for More?

Abstract

A recent article had the provocative title: A wake-up call: we need phage therapy now [1]. Indeed, there are very few sources for phages available if someone needs them urgently. Thus phages are needed and should be produced, characterized and banked and provided upon need, possibly on a European basis. It is not so difficult to collect phages: wherever there are bacteria, there are also their phages. Thus hospital sewage or general sewage is rich sources, and then they require purification, characterization, typing of their hosts, banking and catalogues.
