Phage Therapy
Phage Therapy: is the therapeutic use of bacteriophages to treat pathogenic bacterial infections. Phage therapy has many applications in human medicine, dentistry, veterinary science and agriculture. Phages have been more successful than antibiotics in cases where there is a biofilm covered by a polysaccharide layer, which antibiotics typically cannot penetrate.
