Urgent need for Pseudomonas aeruginosa phages for a patient in Switzerland
Switzerland
[Thanks to the 15+ labs who have responded!! We'll be in touch soon with next steps!]
We are urgently seeking Pseudomonas aeruginosa phages for a cystic fibrosis patient in Switzerland. (More than 140 phages have already been tested, but this patient strain is resistant to all of them so far!)
Ways to help at this stage:
- By sending your phages for testing on the patient's strain
- By receiving the strain and testing your phages
- By receiving the strain and using it to search for new phages against the organism
- 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.
