Bacteriophages

Viruses that infect and kill bacteria and have been identified as a possible alternative or complement to antibiotic treatment.

Phage therapy is used in a small number of countries, and whilst single patient success has been reported, development of these treatments is challenging; multiple clinical trials are ongoing.
