Good news as well as some hope
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!
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!

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!
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
