Bacteriophages are viruses developed to target specific bacteria. The Eliava Institute in Georgia is the world leader in phage production. Patients travel from all around the world for treatment. "Symptomatically I am 50% better than when I started", says Pranav Johri, from India. Institute director Dr Kutateladze says resistance is not an issue.
