Engineered phage endolysin is a potential solution for recurrent bacterial vaginosis
An engineered phage endolysin could offer a highly innovative and precise therapy for recurrent bacterial vaginosis, a disease for which no effective treatment option exists. Data on the novel endolysin targeting Gardnerella, the main pathogen in bacterial vaginosis, has now been published by the Vienna-based biotech company PhagoMed Biopharma GmbH. The data show that the novel drug candidate not only lyses any Gardnerella strain in vitro, but also fully dissolves the Gardnerella-dominated biofilm in vaginal samples of patients who had previously endured years of unsuccessful antibiotic treatment. Furthermore, due to the high specificity of the endolysin, the beneficial microbiome of the vagina remains unharmed by the treatment. This combination of high efficacy and high precision makes the endolysin a highly innovative solution for recurrent bacterial vaginosis, which affects 100 million women every year.

COVID-19: Call for millions spent on failing system to be diverted to local services
A group of doctors is calling on the government to divert the hundreds of millions of pounds being spent on the failing centralised privatised COVID-19 national test and trace service into local primary care, local NHS labs and local public health services. Writing in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, the doctors say this would avoid the fragmentation created by private companies, restore and rebuild much needed service capacity and reintegrate management of COVID-19 into health services.
