Phage therapy helped save a patient with severe vascular graft infection: a new clinical case
In 2026, a clinical case of a patient with a severe vascular graft infection caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa was published in the journal Nature Communications. The bacteria formed a biofilm and proved resistant to multiple antibiotics. Doctors selected a customized combination of bacteriophages and antibiotics for the patient, having previously tested their effectiveness in the laboratory. After treatment, signs of inflammation around the graft significantly decreased, and the patient experienced no further episodes of bacteremia for a year.
