Characterization of phage resistance and phages capable of intestinal decolonization of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in mice

Qingqing Fang et al.

Summary: Fang et al. identified two previously unidentified phages that can inhibit the growth and decrease the virulence of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP). They also found that CRKP can develop phage resistance but can still be eliminated in a mouse intestinal colonization model, highlighting the potential of phage therapy as a treatment against drug-resistant pathogens.

Safety and efficacy of phage therapy in difficult-to-treat infections: a systematic review

Saartje Uyttebroek et al.

Summary: According to the latest reports from WHO, the incidence of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections is increasing worldwide, leading to higher morbidity and mortality rates and putting a strain on healthcare systems. The development of new antibiotics is costly and time-consuming, prompting scientists to explore alternative antimicrobial strategies. Therapeutic administration of bacteriophages, or phages, has gained popularity as a promising concept. However, the widespread implementation of phage therapy in routine clinical practice is constrained by the scarcity of safety and efficacy data collected based on strict clinical trial regulations.

Modelling the synergistic effect of bacteriophage and antibiotics on bacteria: Killers and drivers of resistance evolution

Quentin J. Leclerc et al.

Summary: Depending on timing and concentration, phage and antibiotics can either work together to kill bacteria faster, or phage can generate multidrug-resistant bacteria by transduction which are then selected for by antibiotics.

Bacteriophages and antibiotic interactions in clinical practice: what we have learned so far

Marzanna Lusiak-Szelachowska et al.

Summary: Combining phages with antibiotics can enhance bacterial clearance and reduce biofilm formation, demonstrating a synergistic effect. Some studies have also shown that antibiotics can induce the production of phages by bacteria. In clinical applications, simultaneous treatment with phages and antibiotics has been found to improve treatment outcomes.

Intravesical bacteriophages for treating urinary tract infections in patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate: a randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial

Lorenz Leitner et al.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of intravesical bacteriophage therapy in treating UTIs. Findings showed that bacteriophage therapy was non-inferior to standard antibiotic treatment, but not superior to placebo bladder irrigation in terms of efficacy or safety. The safety profile of bacteriophages appears to be favorable, suggesting potential for further large-scale clinical studies on their role in UTI treatment.

Bacteriophage-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii are resensitized to antimicrobials

Fernando Gordillo Altamirano et al.

Summary: The study found that the bacterial capsule of Acinetobacter baumannii serves as the receptor for the phages phi FG02 and phi CO01. Mutants resistant to the phages had mutations in genes responsible for capsule biosynthesis, leading to loss of capsule and disruption of phage adsorption. These phage-resistant strains showed decreased susceptibility to human complement, beta-lactam antibiotics, and alternative phages, and exhibited reduced fitness in vivo. Furthermore, phage therapy was effective in treating A. baumannii infection in a mouse model.

Bacteriophage therapy for inhibition of multi drug-resistant uropathogenic bacteria: a narrative review

Zahra Chegini et al.

Summary: Multi-drug resistant uropathogenic bacteria have become a major challenge in the medical field, leading to the exploration of bacteriophage therapy as a potential alternative due to its unique mechanism of action and minimal side effects. However, limitations such as a narrow host range and the emergence of phage-resistant strains exist, highlighting the need for further research and the use of combination therapies to maximize effectiveness.
