Re: [DIYbio] Virus treatment

Great work! Who wants to collaborate? Our labs are more advanced than those from the 1920's. A lot easier curing an infection with phages than curing cancer at the moment.

Each year in the United States, at least 2 million people become infected with bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics and at least 23,000 people die each year as a direct result of these infections. Many more people die from other conditions that were complicated by an antibiotic-resistant infection.
