    As part of the 25th edition of the Francophone Virology Days, Pr. Frédéric Laurent held the conference "Phages and phage therapy: from Félix d'Hérelle to 2.0 phages". Frédéric Laurent detailed the history of phages: from their discovery and their first use in early 1920s, through their abandonment in Western world in the 1940s in favor of antibiotics, then their reappearance in recent years within the context of the emergence of multi-resistant bacterial strains. Throughout this presentation, Pr. Laurent also detailed general functioning of phages, their chain of bioproduction and quality control, the progress to be made in the compassionate treatment of patients in therapeutic failures.
