Exploring the Mechanism of Phage Host Range Adaption Using the Appleman's Protocol

Presentation Type

Location

Walker Conference Center C

Description

Phage therapy is developing as a potential alternative to antibiotics, and its development is primarily a result of the rise of antibiotic resistance. The Appelman's protocol is one way to produce phages that are capable of infecting novel strains of pathogenic bacteria. We are currently investigating the types of phages that are most useful in this protocol as well as the mechanism behind the protocol's effectiveness.
