“Bacteriophage could be an alternative to conventional antibiotic therapy against multidrug-resistant bacteria. However, the emergence of resistant variants after phage treatment limited its therapeutic application. Our data showed that the phage cocktail was more effective in reducing bacterial mutation frequency and in the rescue of murine bacteremia than monophage suggesting that phage cocktail established by SBS method has great therapeutic potential for multidrug-resistant bacteria infection.”
Biologic warfare at the bacterial level. In some developed countries antibiotic misuse has caused the rapid development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Bacteriophage therapy has therefore taken a more important role. Except, it has its issues. In this paper, they work to avoid phage resistance with a multi-phage approach.
