What are alternatives for patients with chronic #BJI? As discussed last month during my talk at #ECCMID2019, many options are emergent to preserve the function: #bonesubstitutes, subcutaneous antibiotics, #antipersisters, GMP #bacteriophages and promising #bacteriophagelysins!

Vance G. Fowler showing at the #ECCMID2019 the promising results of the #phage #lysin #CF301 in S. aureus bacteremia in a phase II trial. The potential for #bacteriophages and #lysins in combination with antibiotics to treat methicillin-resistant staph infections is so exciting!

Hoy termina el #ECCMID2019. Brillante organización y gran elección del contenido científico, como siempre. Algunas fotos de nuestros compañeros. Nos vemos en París el año que viene! 😉

Daniel de Vos from the Reine Astrid hospital explaining at the #ECCMID2019 the Belgian magistral #phage process recently described in their monography: it seems feasible for academic researchers to produce GMP-like #bacteriophages to treat compassionate cases!

Knut Dreschler showing in his talk at the #ECCMID2019 that the #bacteriophage activity on #biofilm depends on the age and structure of biofilm! Interesting, as the bacteria imbedded in biofilm could be non susceptible to the #phage!

This morning, some of our fellows have practiced their talks for the next @ESCMID Congress. We hope to see all of you on April 13 in Amsterdam! #ECCMID2019 #Microbiology
