Ecological Basis for Rational Phage Therapy
Understanding the mutual interactions of bacterial and phage populations in the environment of a human or animal body is essential in any attempt to influence these complex processes, particularly for rational phage therapy. Current knowledge on the impact of naturally occurring bacteriophages on the populations of their host bacteria, and their role in the homeostasis maintenance of a macro ho...
متن کاملPharmacogenetics: Genetic Basis for Rational Drug Therapy
Pharmacogenetics has revolutionized the way in which drug metabolism was looked upon in the pre-genomic era. Today with the advent of genomics it is possible to genotype an individual. The genetic differences, which determine the disposition of a given drug in an individual, ultimately give differences in drug response. Genotyping and phenotyping tests to predict dose requirement are now increa...
متن کاملBasis Functions for Rational Continuity
The parametric or geometric continuity of a rational polynomial curve has often been obtained by requiring the homogeneous polynomial curve associated with the rational curve to possess parametric or geometric continuity, respectively. Recently this approach has been shown overly restrictive. We make use of the necessary and su cient conditions of rational parametric continuity for de ning basi...
متن کاملUnexploited opportunities for phage therapy
(2015) Unexploited opportunities for phage therapy. A Surprising Twist on Bacteriophage Therapy Bacterial infections have always been a threat to human health. The first available systemic antibiotics, in early twentieth century, were initially seen as truly miraculous drugs, providing a powerful tool to combat bacterial infections and increasing human life span. Deluded by their exceptional an...
متن کاملPhage therapy
Bacteriophage therapy, the use of viruses that infect bacteria as antimicrobials, has been championed as a promising alternative to conventional antibiotics. Although in the laboratory bacterial resistance against phages arises rapidly, resistance so far has been an only minor problem for the effectiveness of phage therapy. Resistance to antibiotics, however, has become a major issue after deca...
