What Are Bacteriophages & How Do Bacteriophage / Phage Viruses Work? (With Animation)  

Published 29 December 2016. https://youtu.be/i9L-RoQ1frc
Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria cells and they are the most abundant biological entities on the planet, estimated at 10^31 in population. Dr Jan Mast says "I have had the pleasure of working with and researching these phages, and have discovered 3 novel phages on my own. They're great for learning about genomics and bioinformatics because of their small genomes". Dr. Jan Mast, CODA, Groeselenberg, Ukkel, Brussel.

>Phages:Nature's Ninjas in the battle against Superbugs | Heather Hendrickson | TEDxTauranga

Published 6 Oct 2016. Heather Hendrickson is a Phage Hunter and an Evolutionary Biologist. In a world where bacteria are increasingly resistant to antibiotics she investigates bacterial genomes to understand how they evolve and exchange information, a process known as Horizontal Gene Transfer. She hunts for new bacteriophages to isolate and study in a continual search for alternative treatments to bacterial diseases.

Antibiotic resistance is threatening to render antibiotics useless, but scientists may have found their answer in bacteria-eating viruses. 

Phage Treatment Saves A Life

25 April 2017. UC San Diego Health

Scientists and physicians at University of California San Diego School of Medicine, working with colleagues at the U.S. Navy Medical Research Center (NMRC), Texas A&M University, a San Diego-based biotech and elsewhere, have successfully used an experimental therapy involving bacteriophages.

Bacteriophages are viruses that target and consume specific strains of bacteria to treat a patient near death from a multidrug-resistant bacterium.

Video: How Sewage Saved My Husband's Life from a Superbug - Steffanie Strathdee | TEDxNashville

Strathdee was recently credited with saving her husband's life from a deadly superbug infection using bacteriophages –viruses that attack bacteria. The case, which involved cooperation from three universities, the U.S. Navy and researchers across the globe, shows how phage therapy is a future weapon against multi-drug resistant bacterial infections which are expected to kill 10 million people per year by 2050.
