摘要

Despite generating a great deal of interest in the form of review papers, progress in exploiting social dynamics for treatment strategies against bacterial infection has made limited progress since it was suggested twenty years ago. In contrast, anti-viral strategies based on social interactions are entering clinical trial stage. We explore possible reasons for this difference and highlight areas where the two fields of research may learn from one another.
