Ratio presents: Bacteriophages
Channel: Ratio BG
Date: 2021-02-02

Today we will talk about merciless killers – the bacteriophages, these small biological machines designed to kill bacteria.

After decades of wide use of antibiotics, nowadays we are confronted with a massive health crisis caused by the rapid spread of the multidrug-resistant strains of bacteria that threatens to drive us back into the pre-antibiotic era. This global challenge urged the scientific and medical community to reconsider the hundred-years old approach of phage therapy. This event will give an overview of the main principles of the bacteriophage ecology and discuss the implications in the phage therapy.
