About Us
Team PHAGE, one of the teams under University of Maryland's Gemstone program, aims to address increasing bacterial antibiotic immunity by using bacteriophages as an alternative to antibiotic treatments.
Research will consist of developing and testing a bacteriophage cocktail on biofilm forming Listeria monocytogenes. The ideal end goal would be the creation of a patent-able solution, such as a disinfectant spray, that could be used in food processing and packaging environments, where L. monocytogenes is most prevalent. |
