The Perfect Predator by Steffanie Strathdee
A Scientist's Race to Save Her Husband from a Deadly Superbug
A gripping real-life medical thriller follows a desperate race to save a man dying from a multidrug-resistant superbug, as his scientist spouse mobilizes a global network to resurrect bacteriophage therapy under compassionate use. Interweaving ICU suspense with clear explanations of phages, antibiotic resistance, and regulatory hurdles, it chronicles setbacks and breakthroughs that lead to a personalized phage cocktail and a hard-won recovery. The story serves as both a warning about the post-antibiotic era and a hopeful blueprint for biomedical innovation.
