| Description | Although the use of bacteriophages to treat bacterial infections has a long history, and the growing international crisis of resistance to standard antibiotics encourages alternative treatment approaches, phage therapy is not currently used as a standard medical approach. One explanation for why phage therapy has not been widely adopted in clinical practice is that pharmacological data on preclinical and clinical testing of phages are still lacking. Our study compares the pharmacological aspects of phage therapy in a murine model of open wound, where systemic infection occurs, and in a murine model of abscess, which simulates local infection. |
