But phage therapy isn't new. It's just Not Invented Here, and regulatory structure in the US makes it nearly impossible to use legally.
It has a good track record going back decades, it's just a lot harder to use and less reliable than antibiotics USED to be.

But it's a completely different mechanism from antibiotic treatment so it works just as well on antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

The wikipedia article isn't a bad place to start, for once: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phage_therapy … Anyway I hope some of this helps, good luck!

Oh, er. Yeah, phage therapy only works on bacterial infections, not cancer. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
