Bacteriophage Therapy: Current Strategies and Future Perspectives

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
This manuscript systematically reviews the expanding scope of phage applications. It moves beyond traditional antibacterial use to explore their role in precision therapies against drug‐resistant infections, their synergy with antibiotics, and advanced biomaterial‐assisted delivery systems.

Origin and Evolution of Antibiotic Resistance: The Common Mechanisms of Emergence and Spread in Water Bodies [PDF]

, 2012
The environment, and especially fresh water, constitutes a reactor where the evolution and the rise of new resistances occur. In rivers or streams, bacteria from different sources such as urban, industrial and agricultural waste, probably selected by ...

Prevalence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance in Escherichia coli isolated from diseased animals in Taiwan

Journal of Veterinary Medical Science, 2017
Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a zoonotic pathogen that often causes diarrhea, respiratory diseases or septicemia in animals. Fluoroquinolones are antimicrobial agents used to treat pathogenic E. coli infections. In this study, 1,221 E.

Prevalence of aac(6')-Ib-cr plasmid-mediated and chromosome-encoded fluoroquinolone resistance in Enterobacteriaceae in Italy

Gut Pathogens, 2011
The spread of aac(6')-Ib-cr plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance determinants was evaluated in 197 enterobacterial isolates recovered in an Italian teaching hospital. The aac(6')-Ib-cr gene was found exclusively in Escherichia coli strains. The gene was
