Background: Phage therapy offers a promising alternative for treating serious infections, including diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), through the lytic action of phages. This randomized double-blind study was conducted to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the TP-102 bacteriophage cocktail in patients with DFUs non-infected and infected with Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and/or Acinetobacter baumannii.
