side effects of antibiotics would be so undesirable or intolerable that phage therapy alone may be considered. For example, phage alone may be appropriate for individuals with significant renal impairment. However, considering the side effects of antibiotics, individuals themselves may also prefer phage...
‘collateral damage’ of destroying beneficial bacteria along with pathogenic, target bacteria. Phage therapy therefore is less likely to give rise to side effects such as overgrowth of opportunistic pathogens, so-called superinfections, that sometimes occur such as with antibiotic-associated vaginal yeas...
Bacteriophage (phage) therapy is re-emerging a century after it began. Activity against antibiotic-resistant pathogens and a lack of serious side effects make phage therapy an attractive treatment option in refractory bacterial infection. Phages are highly specific for their bacterial targets but the ...
The reported results of early phage therapy work worldwide and of more recent French and Eastern European therapeutic phage applications are very encouraging in terms of such factors as lack of side effects and interactions with other medications as well as of efficacy, particularly as our ...
Phages and Phage Therapy Phages only attack their specific bacteria. They do not attack the bacteria in our body that they are not specific for. Phages do not have side effects, so they can be used over a long period of time, if needed, such as in cases of chronic infection. Phages re...
Phage therapy is safe, effective and there are no side effects. We welcome patients with most types of acute and chronic bacterial infections -- without the red tape of regulatory restrictions encountered in countries where the therapy is not yet approved. Simply register and we can help ...
The reported results of early phage therapy work worldwide and of more recent French and Eastern European therapeutic phage applications are very encouraging in terms of such factors as lack of side effects and interactions with other medications as well as of efficacy, particularly as our ...
It is quicker, safer and specific in action with no side effects. This study aimed at enhancing the understanding of the potentials of phage-therapy in the prevention and treatment of bacterial infections and other microbial pathogens. This was achieved through comparison with the most common and ...
Phage therapy has recently been considered as an efficient therapeutic strategy in controlling various periodontal pathogens. We previously demonstrated the bactericidal capacities of Enterococcus phage vB_EfaS_HEf13 (phage HEf13) against clinically-isolated E. faecalis strains. Here, we investigated ...
Phage therapy has several potential advantages over antibiotics including the ability to disrupt bacterial biofilms and synergize with antimicrobial treatments with minimal side effects or impacts on the microbiota. Phage therapy for UTI treatment has shown generally favorable results in recent animal models...
