Happy to be a small part of this awesome study team, best is yet to come. @U_Calgary
A new #AdvanceAccess study in JAMMI examines bacteriophage therapy as a treatment for chronic prosthetic joint infections where surgery and antibiotics have failed. Can phages disrupt biofilms and change outcomes? Explore the findings: bit.ly/JAMMI_aa2 @CalDomMed

I have eliminated more UTIs from this planet with vaginal estradiol than with antibiotics.

Way to go! Congratulations @azeredo_joana @AzeredoLab
📢 Historic day for Portugal and phage therapy! 🇵🇹 A framework was approved, allowing magistral preparation of personalized phage products. 🙌 Grateful to Jean-Paul Pirnay, my group @AzeredoLab Portuguese patients, and doctors who signed a petition inspired by the Belgium model.

This week is world #AMR awareness week. #Phages are one of the most promising therapeutic agents in combatting AMR and a rapidly rising field of research. Read or re-read our special issue on phage research from an interdisciplinary perspective! 👇

🦠🌍 This #AntimicrobialAwarenessWeek, let's remember that while antimicrobials are crucial, many drugs deemed Essential Medicines by the @WHO are NOT accessible in 🇨🇦 outside the Special Access Program.
RT if you think these drugs should be more easily accessible to Canadians

🆕 in @ICHEJournal - we devised a simple scoring tool to help reduce unnecessary urine culturing and antibiotic prescribing for asymptomatic bacteriuria. The BLADDER score can be used as part of broader UTI stewardship efforts. cambridge.org/core/journals/…
Looking forward to a future @PhageRounds from Chinese Colleagues (open invitation) 150 #phagetherapy cases! Was great to connect with leaders at the @VoM_2024 in Australia. #ammicanphage @AMMICanada let’s do more than 3 Canada
#GOGOGO4PHAGE #ammicanphage @FerryLyon & @CrioacLyon @CHUdeLyon the French are personalized medicine gold medal winners for dead end joint infections. #phagetherapy Come check out this work in November 13/14 for an @esgnta workshop I am presenting at. @AMMICanada @PhageRounds
What a nice X-ray guided #bacteriophage injection @CrioacLyon @CHUdeLyon directly in contact to an infected hip prosthesis! #Phagetherapy is here now an option for patients with complex prosthetic joint infection #PJI for whom explantation is too at risk for complication!
#ammicanphage #phagetherapy @LocusBio lead author Paul Kim (and Canadian) with early results of #UTI clinical trial. @CARB_X supported phages going from promise to proof! Love the sub group showing 80 percent effect on resistant organisms. @AMMICanada @uoftmedicine @PhageRounds
Great news @LocusBio who published prelim data from their Phase 2 #clinicaltrial of #CRISPR-enhanced #phage to treat chronic #UTIs in adult women @TheLancetInfDis. Phase 3 ELIMINATE #trial starts soon & involves @IPATH. Can't wait! #phagetherapy #AMR
