Phage Therapy in the Gut: Targeting Harmful Bacteria


Discover how phage therapy gut targets harmful gut bacteria with precision, offering a natural alternative to broad-spectrum antibiotics. Phage therapy leverages bacteriophages, viruses that specifically infect the bad bacteria in your gut. When a phage encounters its target, it reproduces inside the bacterial cell and causes lysis, releasing new phages to continue the attack. This highly selective approach helps suppress pathogenic strains while preserving beneficial microbes, supporting a healthier gut ecosystem. Across early trials and real-world case studies, phage therapy gut strategies have shown promise in reducing harmful bacteria and improving gut-related symptoms, signaling an exciting shift in how we manage gut health. To support researchers, clinicians, and brands exploring phage therapy gut, InnerBuddies provides a white-label Gut Health Operating System that can power comprehensive microbiome testing products. The platform is modular and includes a Gut Microbiome Health Index, a 0–100 score indicating overall gut health built on an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia. It also presents Bacteria Abundances with a top 40 list, showing how you compare to a healthy cohort, and Bacteria Functions categorized as positive or negative with comparative insights. A deep dive into Target Group analysis reveals how specific populations score on functionally relevant pathways, enabling precise, personalized strategies within phage therapy gut programs. In addition to analytics, InnerBuddies supports personalized interventions. Utilizing three-day food diaries alongside stool data, the system offers Personalized Nutrition Advice to help shape interventions that complement phage therapy gut approaches. It also provides Personalized Probiotics and Prebiotics recommendations tailored to your unique microbiome composition. InnerBuddies delivers gut test solutions directly to consumers, and its B2B options can be deployed under a white-label model to power your own microbiome-testing products.
