SILVER SPRING, Md. (Aug. 9, 2016) Cmdr. Michael Stockelman, deputy director of the Infectious Diseases Directorate at the Naval Medical Research Center, shows petri dishes containing pathogens used in phage research. The Naval Medical Research Center, in collaboration with the Walter Reed Army
Institute of Research, successfully combated an antibiotic-resistant infection in a laboratory model through bacteriophage therapy, which uses viruses found in the environment that are known for their activity against bacteria. (Photo by NMRC Public Affairs)

NMRC worked in collaboration with Navy Medicine’s overseas laboratories to collect phages from environmental sources around the world and personalized them so they could be made by selecting multiple individual phages to create phage mixes customized to the needs of each patient.
