-Key issues that need to be addressed. Table _ shown is a list of problems and solutions that are needed to address our research into phage therapy.
+#rapid clearance of phages by human host and bacteria: bacterial strain resistance / anti-phage antibodies.
+#patient safety: altering phage to prevent lysis of gram negative species.
-#rapid clearance of phages
+#bacterium targeting and optimization: altering the binding kinetics of Phage adherence.
-#patient safety
-#bacterium targeting and optimization
-#bacterial strains resistance/ anti-phage antibodies
-#spread of bacterial resistance
 #narrow range of hosts
-#phage purity and purification technique (while administering directly may be hazardous if not bacteria is removed)
+#achieving phage purity: while administering directly may be hazardous if bacteria is not removed.
-#poor stability of phage
+#poor stability of phage: how do we preserve phage ex vivo and ensure that is viable upon administration?
-#poor scientific style/methods of past research
+#Addressing previous citizen science failures and conducting research with a greater adherence to quality.
-#lysogeny
+#Preventing Lysogeny.
