It begins the 4th annual BSVoM conference with Karen Northshield a survivor of major infection of K. pneumoniae that occurred due to the #Brussles bombings.

Thanks to the group @jeanpaulpirnay.bsky.social and her doctor Anaïs Eskenazi she received life-saving #phage therapy.

Amazing story!

Our cover image for this month, inspired from the recently published Primer on #PhageTherapy: go.nature.com/3XfHpmU

A pattern made of repeated illustrations of a viral agent, appearing in red and yellow, randomly organised. In the centre, the silhouette of a human is outlined by a group of viruses all coloured in blue, symbolising the introduction of viral agents in a human body as a tool for delivering therapies.
