The potential therapeutic impact of a topical bacteriophage preparation in treating -infected burn wounds in mice.

Aim: This study compared a topical formulation containing lytic phages with a routine antibiotic in the murine model of burn/ infected wound healing.

Methods & Materials: Isolated and purified lytic bacteriophages from hospital sewage were added to the polyethylene glycol (PEG) based ointment. A second-degree burned wound on the back of twenty-four adult female mice was created.
