Validated methods for phage selection, host range expansion, and lytic activity
determination are indispensable for maximizing phage therapy outcomes. In this review, we …

The obligatory biotrophic oomycetes Plasmopara viticola is the causal agent of downy
mildew, a destructive disease of grapevine worldwide. So far, chemical fungicides are …

Bacteriophages (phages), discovered 100 years ago, are able to infect and destroy only
bacterial cells. In the current crisis of antibiotic efficacy, phage therapy is considered as a …

Phage therapy has been proven to be more effective, in some cases, than conventional
antibiotics, especially regarding multidrug-resistant biofilm infections. The objective here …

Phage therapy is a promising option for fighting against staphylococcal infections. Two lytic
phages, vB_SauM_phiIPLA-RODI (phiIPLA-RODI) and vB_SepM_phiIPLA-C1C (phiIPLA …

Phage therapy has gained attention due to the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and

The ESKAPE pathogens are the primary threat due to their constant spread of drug
resistance worldwide. These pathogens are also regarded as opportunistic pathogens and …

Bacteriophage (phage) therapy is a promising therapeutic modality for multidrug-resistant
bacterial infections, but its application is mainly limited to personalized therapy due to the …

Background: One of the main challenges in developing phage therapy and manufacturing
