"Phage Therapy: A New Weapon Against Drug-Resistant Superbugs"

Scientists are combating drug-resistant superbugs with phages, nature's oldest predators, in clinical trials targeting various infections, including urinary tract infections, joint infections, and diabetic foot ulcers. Labs are developing libraries of phages and using genetic engineering to create billions of phages in real time, customized to each patient's unique bacterial profile. This next-generation approach shows promise in eradicating antibiotic-resistant bacteria and presents various methods of administration, raising questions about the most effective approach.
