Bronisława Brandla Fejgin was a Polish-born Jewish female physician. Among Fejgin's numerous articles in the field of microbiology, her later work was almost entirely devoted to phage research. Although not equally famous as the phage pioneers from Western Europe, F.W. Twort and F. d'Herelle, Fejgin's contribution to phage research deserves proper recognition. Her studies on phages resulted in the publication of numerous original scientific reports. These articles, published mostly in French, constitute an important source of information and expertise on early attempts towards therapeutic use of phages in humans. The interwar period marks the most intense years in Bronisława Fejgin's research activity, brutally interrupted by her death in the Warsaw Ghetto in 1943. Her microbiology contributions have not been analyzed so far. Thus, the aim of this article is to fill the existing gap in the history of microbiology and phage therapy.
布罗尼斯瓦娃·布兰德la·费金是一位出生于波兰的犹太女医生。在费金于微生物学领域发表的众多文章中，她后期的工作几乎完全致力于噬菌体研究。尽管费金不如来自西欧的噬菌体先驱F.W. 特沃特和F. 德赫雷尔那样著名，但她对噬菌体研究的贡献值得得到应有的认可。她对噬菌体的研究成果发表了大量原创科学报告。这些文章大多用法语发表，构成了关于早期人类噬菌体治疗尝试的重要信息和专业知识来源。两次世界大战之间的时期是布罗尼斯瓦娃·费金研究活动最为活跃的年份，1943年她在华沙犹太区去世，这一活动被残酷打断。到目前为止，她在微生物学方面的贡献尚未得到分析。因此，本文的目的是填补微生物学和噬菌体治疗历史中现有的空白。
