ON THE COVER : In the 1920s and 1930s, before widespread use of antibiotics, physicians successfully treated a variety of infections with bacteriophages (“phages”), natural viral predators that target specific bacteria. With the mass production of antibiotics in the 1940s and 1950s, U.S. and Western European investigators lost interest in phages. Given growing concerns about antibiotic resistance, however, phages are getting another chance with new treatments that target only pathogenic bacteria, leaving beneficial bacteria unharmed.
