Abstract
Because of the ever-present issue of rising bacterial antibiotic resistance, bacteriophage (phage) therapy has garnered attention as a possible solution. This review covers the potential of phages as new antimicrobials. Previous research has demonstrated that phages are effective against bacteria, in animal trials and in human cases, and that phages have no negative effects on treated subjects. However, the lack of a generalised regulatory phage framework and well controlled clinical trials are a great hindrance to future clinical development and approval of phages. The aim of this paper is to show the current potential of phages and what future prospects phage treatment has.
