The Perfect Predator: Phage Therapy for MDR Acinetobacter


Drs. Stephanie Strathdee and Thomas Patterson are the authors of a very unique memoir titled The Perfect Predator.  

The book is unique on multiple levels.  Both authors are academic researchers. The second author, Dr. Patterson, is both the patient in the memoir and the husband of the lead author. The subject is phage therapy for a life threatening MDR acinetobacter infection.

The book is based on this published article in Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapeutics, with Dr. Strathdee as one of the co-authors.

A memoir on phage therapy, not your typical page turner yet well worth the read.
