Bacteriophage Therapy - Beyond Antibiotics

Bacteriophage therapy is increasingly recognized as a promising alternative to conventional antibiotics, particularly in the context of rising antimicrobial resistance. Bacteriophages are viruses that specifically target and eliminate bacterial cells while sparing eukaryotic cells. This book aims to present key insights and research findings on bacteriophage therapy, illustrating the potential of phages to treat bacterial infections and deepen our understanding of microbiology. It also addresses the challenges and limitations of phage therapy, emphasizing areas that require further research. Ultimately, this work seeks to serve as a comprehensive resource for those engaged in bacteriophage research, integrating modern scientific approaches to enhance knowledge for academics, researchers, medical professionals, and industries exploring antibiotic alternatives, including pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and the environment.
