Recent advances in phage therapy research

Phage therapy, long overshadowed by antibiotics, is now experiencing a real resurgence of interest. Faced with the alarming rise in bacterial resistance, researchers around the world are turning again to bacteriophages—viruses capable of targeting and destroying specific bacteria. But where does the research truly stand today? Here is an overview of the most notable advances […]

Phage therapy for chronic bronchitis

Isabelle, 65, has suffered from chronic bronchitis since early childhood. She has also contracted the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa. As antibiotics were ineffective in both cases, Isabelle looked for other options, and people around her told her about phage therapy as well as Se Soigner en Géorgie. She has just returned from treatment with us […]

“And now, I feel completely revitalized.”

Simone, aged 76, underwent a procedure in a French hospital to treat chronic bronchitis that had already been lasting for several years. Unfortunately, she developed a Staphylococcus aureus infection following this procedure. This staphylococcal infection, treated with antibiotics for more than three years, could never be eradicated.

What is a bacteriophage?

The CAMBRIDGE dictionnary gives this definition: Bacteriophage: masculine noun, a virus that grows and divides inside a bacterium, destroying it.Bacteriophages, also called phages, are viruses that infect bacteria. They are considered the natural predators of bacteria and play an important role in regulating their population.The bacteriophage has a relatively simple structure, consisting of a DNA or RNA genome encapsulated in a protein called a […]

Phage therapy and dental infections

André had abscesses around his dental implants, and antibiotics were no longer working. The solution offered to him in France was to remove all 17 implants under general anaesthetic and leave him toothless afterwards. Needless to say, this did not suit him. He then learned that phage therapy treatments were available in Georgia. In André’s […]
