Phage intervention improves colitis and response to corticosteroids by attenuating virulence of Crohn’s disease–associated bacteria
8 Jul 2026
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) exhibit proinflammatory properties and have been implicated in the pathogenesis of Crohn’s disease (CD), a form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Antibiotic use in CD lacks specificity and may worsen microbiome disruption, prompting interest in bacteriophages (phages) for targeted microbiome editing. Here, we identified HER259, a phage active against the...
