IMPACT OF PHAGE THERAPY ON ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE: CLINICAL TRIALS BASED APPROACH
AbstractThe advent of new diseases and the subsequent outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in a tremendous increase in both the production and consumption of antibiotics. While this has helped the economy expand, it has also led to the rise of a problem known as antibiotic resistance. Scientists and researchers worldwide are worried about the spread of antibiotic resistance among various bacterial species. Treating ailments brought on by bacteria resistant to antibiotics is possible through phage treatment. Although phage therapy has shown promise in treating several diseases, it is currently hindered by several obstacles that make widespread use of the technique problematic. We analyze an online survey’s results to better understand the prevalence of antibiotic resistance and phage therapy in human practice and the benefits and downsides of utilizing phages to combat pathogenic microbes.
