Phage Therapy in India

Our story starts with our founder Pranav being diagnosed with an antibiotic-resistant prostatitis infection. Pranav and his wife Apurva struggled with his deteriorating health and a medical system that gives up on patients whose infections don’t respond to antibiotics. Their search for an alternative treatment led them to phage therapy, a century old science that was forgotten by the world and is now being rediscovered in response to the rapidly spreading pandemic of antibiotic-resistant superbugs. Pranav was able to successfully overcome his antibiotic-resistant infection with phage therapy, and along with Apurva, established Vitalis Phage Therapy with the mission of creating awareness of and enabling access to phage therapy. Five years later, we have enabled over 200 patients to access phage therapy, and now in collaboration with medical institutions we hope to create access to phage therapy for every patient suffering from a chronic, recurrent or antibiotic-resistant infection.
