Phrase that emphasizes the fact that many molecular biologists spend increasing amounts of their time in front of a computer screen, generating hypotheses that can subsequently be tested and (hopefully) confirmed in the laboratory.


Phage Therapy is influenced by:

Phage therapy is influenced by:

Country : the epidemiological situation is different from country to country in terms of circulating bacteria and bacteriophages. Example: lytic phages from Italy may be no active on the same bacteria (genus and species) isolated from another country and vice versa.

Mariana Bridi Dies.



Mariana Bridi,20 years old, died at 2:30 a.m from complications related to a generalized infection caused by Pseudomonas aeuriginosa .








This bacterium is known to be resistant to multiple kinds of antibiotics. See Bacterial Sepsis and Ecthyma Gangrenosum (Pustular skin lesions that later become necrotic ulcers and can lead to gangrene).


The Biocontrol Limited (UK) target is Pseudomonas.
