Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a highly pathogenic bacterium that can cause serious infections, especially in dogs. Treatment of infections caused by this bacterium is challenging due to antimicrobial resistance. Bacteriophage therapy has shown potential in alleviating bacterially complicated skin lesions that do not respond to antimicrobial therapy.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a highly pathogenic bacterium with high pathogenicity, that can cause serious infections in all species and especially in dogs. Treatment of the infection induced by this bacterium can be a challenge considering that some strains have developed resistance to most classes of antimicrobials. The use of bacteriophages to alleviate infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa has demonstrated their potential for both internal and external applications. This study aimed to illustrate the treatment with bacteriophages in bacterially complicated skin lesions that do not respond to antimicrobial therapy.
