Viruses. When you hear the term, you probably think of the coronavirus, flu viruses or computer viruses. The term is not usually associated with anything good. But what is good about viruses?
This current documentary by Bayerischer Rundfunk shows how viruses and phages can help with illnesses. Tonja suffers from cystic fibrosis, a hereditary disease in which her metabolic function is impaired.
Tonja suffers from a multi-resistant germ in her lungs. Unfortunately, antibiotics are no longer effective.
The last resort for Tonja before the lung transplant is phage therapy. However, this is not approved in the EU.
We at Sanubiom were able to be part of this documentation and offer Tonja an alternative with the use of phages.
Tonja begins with the application of the phages. They must be inhaled for them to be effective. The phages thus reach the multi-resistant germs.
3 weeks after the therapy, Tonja’s lungs are examined and the germs have decreased significantly.
