As antimicrobial resistance continues to grow and evolve, researchers and clinicians are looking towards a different approach to treating drug-resistant infections. Bacteriophages are viruses that attack bacteria but were widely dismissed in modern western medicine in favor of antibiotics- until now.
In this episode, Tony interviews Daria Van Tyne, PhD and Ghady Haidar, MD, who are both faculty members at the University of Pittsburgh interested in discovering breakthroughs in phage therapy to combat antimicrobial resistant infections. We discuss the history of bacteriophages, where to find them, and the future of bacteriophage engineering.
