Abstract:
The global rise in antibiotic resistance has created an urgent need for novel antimicrobial strategies. Although phage therapy has recently demonstrated significant potential for treating respiratory infections, yet its widespread adoption remains limited by technical and practical hurdles. This review synthesizes recent advances in phage therapy protocols, evaluates clinical efficacy through case studies, and discusses current challenges. By consolidating the latest evidence, it provides actionable guidance to advance the safe and effective integration of phage therapy into clinical practice.
