The Living Medicine was a very interesting book detailing the research on using bacteriophages to treat bacterial infections instead of antibiotics. I was somewhat knowledgeable of the use of bacteriophages for this use and also for gene therapy, but I did not know the back story of the research that was done in the past in the former soviet union. This is what I love to learn- about the people and processes behind the discoveries. It gives me a greater appreciation for the applications of scientific discoveries.

As a high school biology and anatomy teacher I discuss antibiotic resistance, specifically MRSA and other highly resistance strains, with both of my classes and this book as given me real life examples to share with my students. I would recommend for my school library to obtain a copy and recommend this book to my students.

Really really insightful, in the era of antibiotic therapy, we never heard or hope about miraculous things to happen. Hope this book will be a blessing for many others.
