Urgent need for Burkholderia phages for 20-year-old CF patient with a B. gladiola infection
We are urgently seeking Burkholderia phages for a 20-year-old cystic fibrosis patient.
Ways to help at this stage:
- By providing samples of your phages for testing (you send your phages to another lab that receives the patient’s isolate)
- By testing your phages on the patient’s isolate (the patient’s isolate is shipped to your lab)
- By helping spread the word about this request
- By providing us with names/email addresses of labs you think we should contact
Please email staff@phage.directory if you can help in any way, or if you would like further details/clarification.
This effort is coordinated in collaboration with IPATH at UCSD.
Let’s make a difference, Phage Directory
