Bacteriophage Heteroresistance as a Cause of Treatment Failure in Urinary Tract Infections

2026-06-27

Abstract excerpt

With the rise of antimicrobial resistance, urinary tract infections (UTIs) have become increasingly more difficult to treat, prompting renewed interest in bacteriophage (phage) therapy as an alternative or adjunct to antibiotics. UTIs are an attractive target for phage therapy because they generate a high density of actively replicating bacteria that supports phage propagation, and because the urinary tract is rea...
