Characterization and purification of Pseudomonas aeruginosa phages for the treatment of canine infections
Investigating phages as alternative treatment option seems promising with lytic phages covering a broad host range and a genomic potential for biofilm degradation. These findings support the development of phage cocktails as a targeted alternative for treating canine P. aeruginosa infections, particularly in cases of antibiotic resistance, and highlight the importance of selecting well-characterized lytic phages for therapeutic efficacy and safety.
