HOTP Episode 4: The Twort-d'Herelle Controversy - When were bacteriophages first discovered?

Episode 4 of our series, “The History of Phage Therapy” and the first instalment of a three parter on the colossal Twort-d’Herelle Controversy. This controversy was a big deal at the time, and it really shook the trajectory of phage therapy and was perhaps partly responsible for its downfall in the Western World. There were two big questions at the heart of this controversy: what were bacteriophages, and who discovered them first? In this episode we focus on the second question and investigate the two main contenders for who discovered bacteriophages first: Fredrick Twort and Felix d’Herelle. Both men had strong claims, but to effectively answer this question we need to first establish WHEN were bacteriophages first discovered. Expect many twist and turns, with some truly adrenaline spiking phage history!

Felix d'Herelle would go on to discover* bacteriophages in 1917 just as the Great War was beginning to wind down. In this episode we focus on introducing d'Herelle and his life leading up to this fateful discovery. As you will see, even outside of his discovery of bacteriophage, d'Herelle is an extremely interesting character and is surrounded by his own degree of mystery - and controversy. For the first few years of its existence , the entire field of bacteriophage research was pretty much launched through the sheer will of d'Herelle's personality. And d'Herelle's personality goes a long way to explain both the successes and failures of the early days of phage therapy...
