Applications of bacteriophages against intracellular bacteria.

Infectious diseases pose a significant threat to both human and animal populations. Intracellular bacteria are a group of pathogens that invade and survive within the interior of eukaryotic cells, which in turn protect them from antibacterial drugs and the host immune system. Limited penetration of antibacterials into host cells results in insufficient bacterial clearance and treatment failure.

Bacteriophage amplification - A comparison of selected methods.

The bactericidal properties of bacteriophages have been used almost since the moment of the discovery of bacterial viruses. In the light of the rapidly growing number of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, phage therapy is considered one of the most promising alternatives to classical treatment. Phage amplification is one of the most common procedures of working with phages, and high-titer preparations are beneficial at the experimental stage of studies as well as in practice.
