Why has phage therapy not yet become the standard of treatment in the world?

Phage therapy—a method of treating bacterial infections using bacteriophages—is considered a potential solution to the problem of antibiotic resistance. However, due to numerous legal, scientific, and organizational barriers, it has not yet become a part of global medical practice. This article examines in detail the main reasons for this phenomenon: from patenting issues and the lack of a regulatory framework to mistrust in the medical community and the complexity of clinical trials.

Urinary Tract Infections: The Most Dangerous Pathogens and How Phage Therapy is a Game Changer

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common bacterial diseases. They often affect women, the elderly, and patients with catheters. The main pathogens are E. coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, Enterococcus faecalis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. With increasing antibiotic resistance, traditional treatments are losing their effectiveness. Phage therapy, based on the use of bacteriophages—viruses that selectively destroy bacteria—offers a new solution that has shown impressive results in clinical trials.
