Phage therapy is a medical technique discovered in 1917 at the Pasteur Institute by a Georgian, Giorgi Eliava, and a French-Canadian, Félix d’Hérelle.

Having fallen into disuse in the Western world with the discovery of antibiotics, phages can indeed cure various bacterial infections. Georgia is one of the only countries in the world to still use this method professionally.

Today, we introduce you to Dr. Mzia Kutateladze, the Director of the Eliava Institute based in Tbilisi—the capital of Georgia—which treats both foreign and Georgian patients.

For several years now, the World Health Organization (WHO) has been sounding the alarm regarding the excessive use of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance, going so far as to say that we are reaching the end of a medical era.

According to specialists, by 2050, we could face the same situation as in the 19th century, when the slightest infection was fatal.

Phage therapy therefore appears to be THE solution. And it is in Georgia that it is being practiced!
