Bacteriophage therapy

Abstract

The increasing problem of antimicrobial resistance is an issue of major concern to physicians and clinical practice, and treatment failure of infections becomes more likely. The prevention of antibiotic-resistant infections requires a multifaceted approach. One of the alternatives in this respect is to use bacteriophage therapy - an “old-new” method, known before the appearance of the first antibiotics. In this review, we present data on the current state and approaches in the use of bacteriophages as a tool for the effective treatment of infections in an era of resistance.
