Article Synopsis
- Infective endocarditis (IE) is a serious infection of the heart's inner surface, often affecting heart valves or implanted devices, and is linked to high morbidity and mortality rates.
- The condition arises when germs from other body parts enter the bloodstream, particularly affecting those with damaged hearts, and its occurrence has shifted due to aging and increased use of cardiac implants.
- With rising antibiotic resistance, phage therapy is emerging as a promising alternative for treating multidrug-resistant bacterial strains responsible for IE, and ongoing clinical trials highlight its potential effectiveness in future medical treatments.
