Isolation and Characterization of Phages for Phage Therapy.

is a clinically important pathogen causing a variety of antimicrobial resistant infections in both community and nosocomial settings, particularly pneumonia, urinary tract infection, and sepsis. Bacteriophage (phage) therapy is being considered a primary option for the treatment of drug-resistant infections of these types. We report the successful isolation and characterization of 30 novel, genetically diverse phages.
