Beezus, a beloved Pacific Northwest show horse, developed a life-threatening antibiotic-resistant co-infection after successfully undergoing emergency colic surgery.
Follow the Oregon State University team whose groundbreaking precision bacteriophage therapy not only saved her life but also marked the first successful use of this treatment for a complex polymicrobial surgical site infection in an equine patient.
This breakthrough highlights the connection between animal and human health. It offers a framework for customized, topically applied treatments that could improve care for millions of animals and people at risk of surgical site infections each year.
