Eating Away at Antibiotic Resistance – Is Phage Therapy Our Future?
Main Article Content
Abstract
This editorial provides a brief background on over a century of research on bacteriophages, which led to the inaugural 2025 Conference on Bacteriophages: Biology, Dynamics, and Therapeutics, supported by the IAS–USA. A summary of this meeting is included in this issue of Pathogens and Immunity and emphasizes the promise of phage therapy.
