Bacteriophage's Dualism in Therapy

V N Krylov et al. Trends Microbiol. 2019 Jul.

Abstract

Careful selection of bacteriophages for phage therapy is needed to avoid undesirable consequences. Different approaches to phage therapy are compared: from the use of multispecies industrially produced phage mixtures with wide range of antibacterial activity to the 'magistral phage' approach in which bacteriophages are selected for treating individual patients.

Keywords: phage mixtures; phage therapy; transposable phages.
