Background: The antimicrobial resistance catastrophe is a growing global health threat and predicted to be worse in developing countries. Phages for Global Health (PGH) is training scientists in these regions to isolate relevant therapeutic phages for pathogenic bacteria within their locality, and thus contributing to making phage technology universally available.
Materials And Methods: During the inaugural PGH workshop in East Africa, samples from Ugandan municipal sewage facilities were collected and two novel lytic phages were isolated and characterized.
