To review the therapeutic utility, biological challenges, and bioengineering strategies of bacteriophages for treating multidrug-resistant infections and other complex diseases.
Synthesized findings from clinical and preclinical studies utilizing natural and synthetic bacteriophages across respiratory, post-surgical, and systemic bacterial infections.
Evaluated genetic and synthetic engineering methods designed to improve phage survivability, target specificity, and combination efficacy within host physiological microenvironments.
Engineered modifications significantly enhance bacteriophage targeting accuracy and in vivo stability, mitigating microenvironmental degradation that typically limits wild-type phages.
Bioengineered phages demonstrate expanded clinical utility beyond antimicrobial lysis, functioning effectively in targeted tumor therapies and antigen delivery platforms for vaccines.
