Abstract
The looming antibiotic resistance crisis is forcing clinicians to consider alternative approaches to treating bacterial infections. As the window of use for current antimicrobial agents becomes ever narrower, we consider if looking back will now be the way forward. Conceptually, phage therapy is simple and specific; a targeted treatment to control bacterial overgrowth. In this article we discuss bacteriophage and potential use in future therapy.
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Energy Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of materials, engineering, chemistry, physics and biology relevant to energy conversion and storage. The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrate knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important energy applications.
