Ameneh Khatami (The Children’s Hospital at Westmead and University of Sydney) and colleagues published a new paper in EMBO Molecular Medicine on bacterial lysis, autophagy and innate immune responses during adjunctive phage therapy in a child. This describes the successful treatment of a 7-year-old girl who avoided amputation thanks in part to phage treatment in 2019 (Phage Directory is proud to have helped source phages for this case!) See also Dr. Khatami's talk in PHAVES about this case.
