3. As a scientist, describe the main experiment you would like to see performed before phage therapy is approved for human use. What are the risks involved with using phage therapy?

I would like to see tests done on the human response to therapy. Many phage therapies could evoke an allergic reaction as the immune system mounts an attack on these foreign bodies. Furthermore, how would the kidneys and liver function differ, especially in patients with conditions weakening these filtration systems, when trying to filter out the remains of the bacteria cells and phage particles. This includes the effects of endotoxins, in which people could enter septic shock causing much fatality. As with most therapies that could involve a toll on either the kidneys or the liver, enzymes would have  to be monitored closely during the entire time of clinical testing. In addition dosage of phage therapy would have to be taken in to account before it reaches the point that the immune system will start mounting  a defense against the foreign particles.
