Phage therapy

Drug Discovery Today, 2009
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 important to ask why it is not part of the current repertoire of western ...

Phage Therapy

WikiJournal of Medicine, 2021
Phage therapy refers to the use of bacteriophages (phages - bacterial viruses) as therapeutic agents against infectious bacterial diseases. This therapeutic approach emerged in the beginning of the 20th century but was progressively replaced by the use of antibiotics in most parts of the world after the second world war.

Genetic basis of phage-host interaction: Towards effective phage therapy of non-typhoidal Salmonella

, 2022
Non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) have adapted to cause invasive illness in humans. Bacteria have developed MDR against current antibiotics. Bacteriophage therapy is the hope for bacterial treatment however one of the key limitations is the limited host ...

Phage Therapy in Veterinary Medicine [PDF]

Antibiotics, 2021
To overcome the obstacle of antimicrobial resistance, researchers are investigating the use of phage therapy as an alternative and/or supplementation to antibiotics to treat and prevent infections both in humans and in animals. In the first part of this review, we describe the unique biological characteristics of bacteriophages and the crucial aspects ...
