Review: Phage Therapy, a renewed approach to combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria (Cell Host & Microbe)

Review in Cell Host & Microbe by Kortright, Chan, Koff and Turner (Yale) on the history of phage therapy and why it is regaining interest as multidrug-resistant infections rise. It compares phage therapy with chemical antibiotics and their potential synergies, examines animal models, case studies and clinical trial results, and discusses how to evaluate phage therapy against antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
