Phage Therapy Center clinics specialize in two situations where bacteriophage
therapy tends to be superior to standard and advanced treatments (including antibiotics)
in the US and Western Europe:
1. Infections where circulation is poor, which makes it difficult to deliver the right
concentration of antibiotics to the infected area. Such infections include, but are not
limited to:
- Infected Wounds
- Osteomyelitis
- Diabetic Foot
- Tropic Ulcers
- Bed Sores
- Urinary Tract Infections
- Intestinal Infections
- Ear Infections, Otitis Media
- Sinus Infections
- Infections Complicated with Candida and other yeast / fungi
- Chronic Prostatitis and Associated Sexual Problems
2. Infections with bacteria that are resistant to standard or advanced antibiotics.
Some but not all of these infections involve situations with poor circulation (such as
those mentioned above), where insufficient antibiotic doses foster the growth of resistant
bacteria. There are other cases, however, where poor circulation is not an important
factor. Such cases can include:
- Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and other resistant strains
of Staphylococcus bacteria
- Streptococcus
- E.coli
- Proteus
- Pseudomonas
- Several other bacterial strains that are emerging as significant challenges even to the
most advanced antibiotics.

 Clinics
/ Primary Healthcare Centers - Republic of Georgia
These clinics are initially being supported by grants and donations, but should gradually
become self-financing with the capacity to provide charitable medical care to selected
street children’s shelters and orphanages in Georgia from its own resources.
The clinic’s space, which is owned by GENESIS, has been repaired and the
necessary medical equipment has already been installed. The clinic started operating in
October, 2001. The Didube district clinic is funded by Lion's Club, Switzerland.
Genesis uses bacteriophages exclusively [instead of antibiotics] for all bacterial
infections. Most hospitals in Georgia use a bacteriphages in conjunction with
traditional antibiotics to fight infection. |
