Exploring the potential of phage and their applications
2023, Progress in Molecular Biology and Translational ScienceExploring the future of infectious disease treatment in a post-antibiotic era: A comparative review of alternative therapeutics
2021, Journal of Global Antimicrobial ResistanceCitation Excerpt :It is possible that in the future companies may obtain rights to genetically modified phages or specific combinations of phage cocktails [88]. Still, the profitability of therapeutic phages, even if patented, is questionable [85]. Thus, academic institutions and government agencies may have to lead the way by creating publicly-funded phage repositories and granting access to medical centres and other approved institutions [88].
Topical application of bacteriophages for treatment of wound infections
2020, Translational ResearchCitation Excerpt :Treatment of furunculosis was also reported in the United States as early as in 1929.61 Despite all these early promising results in the West, the use of phage therapy after the discovery of antibiotics continues to be rather limited to Russia and the Republic of Georgia,62 where phages are approved for clinical use and sold over the counter, and to Poland where unapproved phage treatments can still be administered following the Declaration of Helsinki guidelines.63,64 In Belgium, a new regulatory framework–The Magistral Phage–has been proposed to facilitate the used of tailor-made phage products for treatment of complicated bacterial infections,65 while in other countries administration of phage treatments is only allowed for patients who run out of options under compassionate use ethical codes.66
