Guntur Doctors Successfully Cure Drug-Resistant Bone Infection Using Phage Therapy

Doctors at SHRI Hospital in Guntur have made a significant breakthrough by curing a 72-year-old woman from Bapatla who was suffering from a chronic bone and joint infection resistant to multiple drugs. The patient had been fighting off Acinetobacter baumannii for six months, and the infection had shown resistance to all available antibiotics. The medical team decided to use phage therapy, a treatment that uses bacteriophages to target and eliminate specific bacteria, resulting in the successful eradication of the infection.
