[pp.int.general] Pharm Companies to ignore MRSA cure over patents?

[Peter Liddell]

"Nonetheless, few Western companies have so far ventured into the field of
bacteriophage therapy.

Dr Nick Housby of Novolytics Limited - one firm which has - says this is
because of the intellectual property rights surrounding the therapy, which
has so long been used elsewhere. Phages are notoriously hard to patent, the
process by which drug companies secure their future profits."
