Phage Consultants

At Phage Consultants, we are world experts on bacteriophages, the distinctive ‘legged’ viruses that infect bacteria. First discovered around 1915, bacteriophages (or ‘phages) play several important roles in viral biology. Not only do they contaminate bacterial and biological processes but can also be used to kill other bacteria that are contaminants. Phages have also been used to elucidate DNA viral reproduction through lytic and lysogenic cycles and, for the past 100 years, as alternatives to antibiotics, with therapeutic effects against multi-drug-resistant strains of many bacteria. Based in Gdansk, Poland, Phage Consultants specializes in bacteriophage detection and characterization and production as a contract research and manufacturing organization. We have become world leaders in using the power of bacteriophage technology in bioprocess infection and contamination control and assisting companies whose production is based on microbial activities in preventing bacteriophage contamination, along with bacterial, fungal and viral contaminations. We also specialize in the field of bacteriophage biology with specific expertise on phage activity in bioprocessing. We can provide unique assistance to pharmaceutical and biotech companies, offering a range of services from personal training to consulting and process optimization in phage growth limitation as well as advising on development of contamination-resistant bioprocess facilities.
