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.
