It's been called "the trots," "Montezuma's Revenge," "the runs," and worse. But no matter the name, when it strikes, victims wish for a medicine that could go straight to the offending bacteria to quickly knock it dead. That wish will ultimately come true if work by Texas A&M University scientists stays on target at the Center for Phage Technology in College Station. A "medicine that grows" is how the phage concept was described by Dr. Ryland Young, a professor of biochemistry and biophysics who was instrumental in establishing the center.
