Phage therapy is the use of bacterial viruses as antibacterial agents. A primary
consideration for commercial development of phages for phage therapy is the number of …

Phage therapy is the application of phages to bodies, substances, or environments to effect
the biocontrol of pathogenic or nuisance bacteria. To be effective, phages, minimally, must …

Antibiotic resistance evolution in bacteria indicates that one of the challenges faced by
phage therapy is that, sooner or later, bacteria will evolve resistance to phages. Evidently …

Bacteriophages are obligate parasites of bacteria characterized by the breadth of hosts that
they can infect. This “host range” depends on the genotypes and morphologies of the phage …

Phage therapy is the clinical or veterinary application of bacterial viruses (bacteriophages)
as antibacterial “drugs.” More generally, phages can be used as biocontrol agents against …

The global rise of antibiotic resistance in bacterial pathogens and the waning efficacy of
antibiotics urge consideration of alternative antimicrobial strategies. Phage therapy is a …

For a century, bacterial viruses called bacteriophages have been exploited as natural
antibacterial agents. However, their medicinal potential has not yet been exploited due to …

The application of bacteriophages as antibacterial agents has many benefits in the “post-
antibiotic age”. To increase the number of successfully targeted bacterial strains, phage …

Increasing antimicrobial resistance rates have revitalized bacteriophage (phage) research,
the natural predators of bacteria discovered over 100 years ago. In order to use phages …
