The first case of phage therapy for biliary tract infection caused by superbugs!
Biliary tract infections (BTI), often linked to structural abnormalities like bile duct stones, pose significant treatment challenges due to drug-resistant bacteria like Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Phage therapy, which uses viruses to target bacteria, has emerged as a promising solution. This study by researchers from Fudan University and Army Medical University, published in hLife, reported the first successful use of personalized phage therapy for chronic BTI caused by multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa. An 88-year-old patent with recurrent infections underwent phage therapy after traditional treatments failed. A customized phage cocktail was administered, leading to symptom improvement and reduced bacterial load. However, phage-resistant strains emerged, prompting a second round of therapy with a different phage, which further alleviated symptoms. Genomic analysis revealed bacterial mutations contributing to resistance. This study highlights the potential of phage therapy for treating drug-resistant infections, though challenges like bacterial heterogeneity and biofilm formation remain. Future research aims to optimize phage therapy strategies for better outcomes.
Soh Kam Yung"A century-old treatment that uses viruses to attack bacteria was successfully used in 2024 to save the life of a Singapore General Hospital (SGH) patient who had exhausted all care options for an antibiotic-resistant infection.
This made her the first patient in South-east Asia to benefit from phage therapy"

Charité Berlin🦠 Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are a growing problem. Can ‘bacteria-eaters’ help? A research team at #ChariteBerlin has now succeeded in training bacteriophages – viruses that ‘eat’ bacteria – in such a way that they can better combat the pathogen P. aeruginosa even behind its protective shield, the biofilm.

Because #PhageTherapy is still in its infancy: Please use #antibiotics cautiously!

Researchers develop a way to make lifesaving phages accessible, transportable and much easier to use
Researchers have developed a simple way to bring bacteriophage therapy into much closer reach for clinicians struggling to save patients with antimicrobial-resistant infections. The technology makes it possible to sort through hundreds or even thousands of phages in less than two hours to identify which will respond to a particular infection.
