In the article, the author discusses the increasing popularity of a therapy using bacteriophages or phages to treat rare diseases by citing the case of Joseph Bunevacz, who suffers from a strange and persistent blood infection. Also cited are the ineffectiveness of antibiotics to treat Bunevacz's disease, and the threat of antibiotic-resistant bacteria on public health.
