21.09.2026 – Co-authorship of the S2k guideline
“Personalized Bacteriophage Therapy” and of the
consensus statement in Nature Medicine
Members of the MEDphage project are co-authors of the S2k guideline “Personalized Bacteriophage Therapy” and the Nature Medicine publication “Consensus Statement—A consensus-based guideline for personalized bacteriophage therapy.”
This guideline provides, for the first time, an internationally coordinated framework for the clinical application of personalized phage therapies. Until now, there have been no standard recommendations for key steps in treatment or quality standards for the use of phages as therapeutics in human medicine. The new guideline therefore provides a basis for integrating phage therapy safely and responsibly into clinical practice.
