Simple Catheter Biofilm Flow Model: <i>Klebsiella</i> Phages Disrupt <i>E. coli</i> Biofilms on Urinary Catheters Under Static and Dynamic Flow Conditions
Phage treatment significantly reduced <i>E. coli</i> biofilm viability in catheters both in static conditions and under flow and liberated bacteria from the biofilms, highlighting the potential of phage therapy as an intervention strategy for catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI).
