UPDATE - follow-up to Phage therapy holds promise in fighting against antimicrobial resistance: Dr. Kalyan Chakravarthy: Medical experts have shared new insights on using specific viruses to fight drug-resistant infections following a presentation at an overseas academic gathering.

Research Presentation

Dr. Kalyan Chakravarthy Koganti, a specialist in severe infections based in Guntur, shared details from a recent international meeting co-hosted by a Hong Kong university and academic journals. At the event, Dr. Sutharsan Govindarajan from a regional university in Andhra Pradesh also shared study outcomes from the team. The gathering was led by a professor who has spent twenty-five years studying these bacterial-killing agents.

Clinical Progress

Specialists explain that these microscopic agents attack only bad germs while leaving human tissue unharmed, giving doctors a backup option when standard drugs stop working. The medical center has already given this treatment to a small group of local patients with positive outcomes. Work is underway alongside domestic and foreign universities to bring this medical option to more people across the country.
