Naveen, bacteriophages are used in Russia for therapy of bacterial diseases since 1930-s till now. Personally, we apply them for our kids after or instead of antibiotics, but only after the bacteria test for phage sensitivity. Bacteriophage cocktails are produced by several companies and available everywhere.
Yeah Alex. But what is the scenario in rest of the world (outside Russia or former USSR).
hi Naveen,
due to evolution of MDR-bacteria, now western world seeing for phage therapy, in eastern world, they are using whole phages, phage enzymes and cocktails were used for treatments, they are not using antibiotic. many countries are started phage products as theraupatics, even WHO also started and USA also started using of phages for killing of their respective host bacteria. even in India GANGAGEN also produces phage products as theraupatic agents for different bacteria...
