🫁Three #SEPAR grants recognise projects led by @hospitaldelmar.bsky.social and @researchmar.bsky.social #HMRIB.
🔬Dr Esther Barreiro, Dra Marisol Domínguez & Dr Roberto Chalela are spearheading research into sarcopenia, phagotherapy and lung cancer screening.

Prophages are more frequent in nature than lytic #bacteriophages. They not destroy bacteria and could protect them from phagocytosis (See ➡️ it is required to check prophages during the production of #phages used for #phagotherapy!

9/ 🦠 Precision Medicine
Finally, we heard the latest advances on the MePRAM project, focused on the development of precision medicine, where Maria Tomás Carmona told us about phagotherapy, which is the use of personalized phages to treat specific antibiotic resistant bacteria!

Proud to be an  “Inauguration Committee Member“ of the new @ESCMID study group for Non-traditional Antibacterial Therapy #ESGNTA that will focus on the development of #phagetherapy #phagotherapy in Europe!

Moreover an update about the current use and indication of #phagetherapy #phagotherapy in patients with #boneandjointinfection #BJI such as #prostheticjointinfection #PJI managed @CHUdeLyon @CrioacLyon will be done during this national congress!

Yesterday, a 18th patient has been treated by #phagotherapy @CHUdeLyon using ultrasound-guided injection of a #bacteriophage cocktail for a complex #MRSA #prosthetic #knee #infection! Here we try to tackle antimicrobial resistance #AMR with #phages!

Today, a 17th patient has been treated by #phagotherapy @CHUdeLyon🇫🇷 by a personalized #bacteriophage cocktail for a Staphylococcus epidermidis relapsing prosthetic joint infection ➡️ Phage discovery in Bern🇨🇭+ purification in Brussels🇧🇪 = incredible collaborative academic work!

Six accepted abstracts about #phagetherapy #phagotherapy and #bacteriophagelysins #lysins at the next #eccmid2020 in #Paris! Lyon and our team @CrioacLyon @CIRI_Lyon @CHUdeLyon @UnivLyon1 are ready to integrate this incredible therapy to fight #antimicrobialresistance!🔥

Our vision in Lyon about #phagetherapy #phagotherapy 2.0 ➡️ the time has come to determine if #phages have the ability to ⤴️⤴️⤴️ the clinical success rate in severe bacterial diseases ➡️ bone and joint infections #bji are definitely the optimal first candidates for that!

Next saturday, the European culture channel @ARTEen will broadcast this film directed by Jean Crépu about the story of #bacteriophage and #phagotherapy partially shoted at @CrioacLyon @CHUdeLyon @CIRI_Lyon. Many thanks to Jean and also to our patients for their participation!

What a pleasure to meet today Saima Aslam @DocSaimaAslam @IPATH and Jason Gill @jason_j_gill @TAMU_CPT (on my ⬅️) after their very nice talks about #bacteriophages @IDWeek2019, with Pr. @rannirpaz1 from #HadassahMedicalCenter (on my ➡️). Nice academic forces for #phagotherapy!

GMP#bacteriophages means Good Manufacturing Practice #bacteriophages (#phagotherapy) i.e. purified #phages

Maybe one day we can say that to patients with complex #infections. Indeed, #phagotherapy has a high potential, but it absolutely requires for safety tricky and costly good manufacturing practice production (GMP) of #bacteriophages

Conclusion of the @ansm CSST: All the issues raised by #phagotherapy led to promote the establishment of a national platform for guidance and validation of the use of #phages to control their use in France and could eventually work on the implementation of an academic production

Last week, two other patients received @CRIOAcLyon @CHUdeLyon a personalized GMP #bacteriophage therapy produced by #pherecydespharma, in conjunction with @ANSM, for complex S. aureus and S. Lugdunensis prosthetic joint infections. Thanks for your precious help 🤞! #phagotherapy

Yeah, but as far as I know, most scientific progress are the results of capitalist society. Soviet science for example had mostly one goal : produce weapons, with a few exceptions here and there (like phagotherapy in Georgia, which has been kept alive by local capitalism since the end of the USSR)
