Phage-antibiotic synergy (PAS) has been extensively explored over the past decade, with the aim of developing more effective treatments against multidrug-resistant organisms. However, it remains unclear how to effectively combine these two approaches. To address this uncertainty, we assessed four main aspects of PAS interactions in this review, seeking to identify commonalities of combining treatments within and between bacterial species.

The success of phage therapy is affected by the method of treatment delivery. This study focused on comparing different phage delivery routes, specifically oral (phage-impregnated feed), intraperitoneal (IP), and bath (immersion), in treatment of induced motile septicemia (MAS). The efficacy of phage cocktail in treating MAS-infected through different delivery routes was assessed by challenging the fish with 100% lethal dose of and conducting a 15-day treatment regimen.
