    • Neil R Gottel 13:48, 26 March 2013 (EDT):Yep! Its my first reference. I'll make a note in the article about that.
  • Jeffrey E. Barrick 21:34, 25 March 2013 (EDT):Phage therapy turns up in early 20th century novel about science by Sinclair Lewis: Arrowsmith (not to be confused with Upton Sinclair of The Jungle).
