Abstract
Recently, bacteriophages have been considered alternatives to antibacterial treatments. Infectious diseases continue to plague the world because bacteria can adapt and develop defence mechanisms against antibiotics. The growing incidence of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections necessitated the development of new techniques for treating bacterial infections worldwide. Clinical trials have shown efficiency against antibiotic-resistant bacteria. However, scientists in future clinical trials should scrutinize phage resistance implications, assess combination strategies with antimicrobial agents and address challenges in phage therapy delivery for effective implementation.
