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 …

Foodborne illness is exacerbated by novel and emerging pathotypes, persistent
contamination, antimicrobial resistance, an ever-changing environment, and the complexity …

After a century of use in human infection, the preparation and administration of therapeutic
bacteriophages (phages) still relies on ad hoc partnerships of researchers, biotech …

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 …

The increasing global incidence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections threatens
public health and compromises various aspects of modern medicine. Recognising the …

Antimicrobials are essential for combating infectious diseases. However, an increase in
resistance to them is a major cause of concern. The empirical use of drugs in managing …

Therapeutic application of bacterial viruses (phage therapy) has in recent years been
rediscovered by many scientists, as a method which may potentially replace conventional …

Holins are bacteriophage-encoded small transmembrane proteins that determine the phage
infection cycle duration by forming nonspecific holes in the host cell membrane at a specific …

The conventional treatment of bacterial infections with antibiotics is becoming increasingly
ineffective due to the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens. This literature …

Bacteriophages, or phages, are the viruses of bacteria. Known to science for over 100 years,
the use of phages as antibacterial agents predates the discovery and substantial clinical …
