Repeated exposure to addictive drugs causes unmistakable changes to occur on both a neuronal and a behavioral level. Certain circuits in the brain of an addict are forced to change and adapt to an environment of drug-induced chemical imbalance....
Given the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, the need to find alternative treatments for pathogenic microbes, and the obvious medical potential of bacteriophages, we designed a study to display evidence that phage therapy is a viable...
