Phage therapy is a medical form of biological control of bacterial infections, one that uses
naturally occurring viruses, called bacteriophages or phages, as antibacterial agents …

Many bacteriophages are obligate killers of bacteria. That this property could be medically
useful was first recognized over one hundred years ago, with 2021 being the 100-year …

Burgeoning problems of antimicrobial resistance dictate that new solutions be developed to
combat old foes. Use of lytic bacteriophages (phages) for the treatment of drug-resistant …

Phage therapy is the application of bacteria-specific viruses with the goal of reducing or
eliminating pathogenic or nuisance bacteria. While phage therapy has become a broadly …

Phage therapy, long overshadowed by chemical antibiotics, is garnering renewed interest in
Western medicine. This stems from the rise in frequency of multi-drug-resistant bacterial …

There is a renaissance of interest in the antimicrobial potential of phages as more
pathogens become multiply antibiotic resistant. Phage therapy is not a new concept, and it is …

Antibiotic resistance is arguably the biggest current threat to global health. An increasing
number of infections are becoming harder or almost impossible to treat, carrying high …

In this article we explain how current events in the field of phage therapy may positively
influence its future development. We discuss the shift in position of the authorities …

The spread of antimicrobial resistant bacterial pathogens combined with the lack of new
drug classes in the antibiotic pipeline causes a resurgence of the use of bacterial viruses …

Bacterial resistance to antibiotics poses a serious health threat. Since research into new
antibiotics is not progressing at the same rate as the development of bacterial resistance …
