Phage therapy refers to the use of bacteriophages (phages bacterial viruses) as therapeutic agents against infectious bacterial diseases. This therapeutic approach emerged in the beginning of the 20th century but was progressively replaced by the use of antibiotics in most parts of the world after the second world war. More recently however, the alarming rise of multidrug-resistant bacteria and the consequent need for antibiotic alternatives has renewed interest in phages as antimicrobial agents. Several scientific, technological and regulatory advances have supported the credibility of a second revolution in phage therapy. Nevertheless, phage therapy still faces many challenges that include: i) the need to increase phage collections from reference phage banks; ii) the development of efficient phage screening methods for the fast identification of the therapeutic phage(s); iii) the establishment of efficient phage therapy strategies to tackle infectious biofilms; iv) the validation of feasible phage production protocols that assure quality and safety of phage preparations; and (v) the guarantee of stability of phage preparations during manufacturing, storage and transport. Moreover, current maladapted regulatory structures represent a significant hurdle for potential commercialization of phage therapeutics. This article describes the past and current status of phage therapy and presents the most recent advances in this domain. History of Phage Therapy Origins of Phage Therapy In 1915, Frederick Twort, a medically trained bacteriologist from England, reported a bacteriolytic phenomenon and advanced the hypothesis that it may be due to a virus. However, excitement with the possibilities of bacteriophage can be said to have begun six months before when Félix d'Hérelle, a microbiologist at the Pasteur Institute, was sent 50 miles from the Western Front to Maisons-Laffitte to investigate an outbreak of dysentery among 10 French mounted infantrymen. Returning with samples he described a soon eponymous novel bacillus. However, in his investigations of this bacteria over the next 18 months, he found that some seemingly sterile Chamberland filtrates of it were capable of effecting the killing (lysis) of another dysentery bacillus (likely Shigella). In one of the great scientific works of the twentieth century, d'Herelle described in two short pages the experiments that he performed demonstrating that this lytic property could be serially passaged from one culture to the next by transferring 10 dilutions to new cultures fifty times. Any toxin would be too diluted after fifty passages to have a biological effect. Similarly, he showed that no dilution of these lysed cultures would produce partial growth inhibition when added over a lawn of bacteria like an antibacterial toxin would, but instead would display a number of clear glassy holes (called "plaques") equal to the concentration that would lyse a liquid culture. From these observations, d'Hérelle radica
噬菌体治疗是指利用噬菌体(噬菌体细菌病毒)作为治疗传染性细菌疾病的药物。这种治疗方法出现在20世纪初,但在第二次世界大战后,世界大部分地区逐渐被抗生素的使用所取代。然而,最近,耐多药细菌的惊人增长以及随之而来的对抗生素替代品的需求重新引起了人们对噬菌体作为抗菌剂的兴趣。一些科学、技术和监管方面的进步支持了噬菌体治疗的第二次革命的可信性。然而,噬菌体治疗仍然面临许多挑战,包括:1)需要增加参考噬菌体库的噬菌体收集量;Ii)开发高效的噬菌体筛选方法,以快速鉴定治疗噬菌体;Iii)建立有效的噬菌体治疗策略以应对感染性生物膜;Iv)验证可行的噬菌体生产方案,确保噬菌体制剂的质量和安全;(五)噬菌体制剂在生产、储存和运输过程中的稳定性保证。此外,目前不适应的监管结构是噬菌体疗法潜在商业化的重大障碍。本文介绍了噬菌体治疗的过去和现状,并介绍了该领域的最新进展。噬菌体治疗的历史噬菌体治疗的起源1915年,来自英国的受过医学训练的细菌学家弗雷德里克·特沃特报告了一种细菌溶解现象,并提出了这可能是由病毒引起的假设。然而,人们对噬菌体的可能性的兴奋之感可以说早在6个月前就开始了,当时巴斯德研究所的微生物学家fasslix d' hsamrelle从西线被派往50英里外的Maisons-Laffitte,调查10名法国骑兵中爆发的痢疾。带着样品回来后,他描述了一种很快与他同名的新型芽孢杆菌。然而,在接下来的18个月里,他对这种细菌的研究发现,一些看似无菌的张伯伦滤液能够杀死(裂解)另一种痢疾杆菌(可能是志贺氏杆菌)。在二十世纪最伟大的科学著作之一中,d'Herelle用两页的篇幅描述了他所做的实验,证明了这种分解特性可以通过将10种稀释剂转移到新的培养基中50次,从一种培养基连续传递到另一种培养基。任何毒素在经过50次传代后都会被稀释到无法产生生物效应。同样地,他证明,当将这些溶解的培养物稀释后,在细菌草坪上添加抗菌毒素时,不会产生部分生长抑制,而是会显示出许多透明的玻璃孔(称为“斑块”),其浓度等于溶解液体培养物的浓度。从这些观察中,德·赫萨雷尔从根本上直觉到,他发现了" unmicrobe invisible antagoniste des bacilles dysentmoriques ",将其描述为" unbactmoriphage obligatoire"("一种对痢疾杆菌具有拮抗作用的不可见微生物"),这表明他的其他细菌也会被这些病原体的病原体感染,并且(也许过于激进)假设这些噬菌体是自然免疫的真正病原体。[a]葡萄牙布拉加Minho大学生物工程中心[b]比利时布拉加Minho大学生物工程中心[d] g .
