Prior to the advent of antibiotics, live organisms were used directly in attempts to control microbial infections and cure cancers. Examples of such biological control included bacteriotherapy, bacteriophage therapy, malaria therapy, probiotics and the use of living maggots. In all cases, the organisms themselves, rather than products of their metabolism, were used as the potentially curative agents. The history of the use of biocontrol agents in the treatment of human infections and cancer is discussed here in relation to more recent examples of the use of this approach. Modern studies suggest that the use of biological control in the treatment of human infections may be worth re-evaluating in the light of the increasing world-wide occurrence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and the opportunities provided by recent developments in gene technology. |
