What Is Phage Therapy
The therapeutic use of bacteriophages, also known as phage therapy, viral phage therapy, or phagotherapy, may be defined as the treatment of infectious diseases caused by harmful bacteria. This treatment technique arose at the beginning of the 20th century, but following the second world war, it was gradually supplanted by the use of antibiotics in most areas of the globe. Bacteriophages are a kind of virus that attach itself to bacterial cells and then inject their genome into the bacterial cell. Bacteriophages are also known as phages. The bacterial genome is successfully replaced by the genome of the virus, which results in the cessation of the bacterial infection. Because it is unable to replicate, the bacterial cell that is responsible for the infection instead creates extra phages. Phages are only effective against extremely specific bacterial species due to their high level of specificity.
