Deskripsi
Abstract Persistent bacterial lung infections in children lead to significant morbidity and mortality due to antibiotic resistance. In this paper, we describe how phage therapy has shown remarkable efficacy in preclinical and clinical studies, demonstrating significant therapeutic benefits through various administration routes. Ongoing trials are evaluating its safety and effectiveness against different pathogens. Advancing phage therapy through systematic studies and international collaboration could provide a viable alternative to traditional antibiotics for persistent infections.
