Targeted Bacterial Control – Nature's Way

Intro

• Bacteriophages (“Phages”) are viruses that can only attach to, replicate in, and in the process, kill specific bacteria by lysis • Phages are estimated to be the most abundant and the most diverse entities in the biosphere and constitute a primary force of nature decimating the bacterial mass by half every 48 hours • Phages are isolated, concentrated and applied in specific niches in order to eradicate specific bacteria • Phages thrive in the presence of bacteria, and die out in their absence • Phages action is specific, and does not harm vital micro flora • Phages may be used both preventively, and in the treatment of ongoing infections • Phages present the only viable alternative and the last resort for the treatment of antibiotic-resistant infections • Phage-bacteria co-evolution provides for an inexhaustible reservoir of phages
