In an era of multidrug-resistant bacterial infections that are depleting the use of chemical antibiotics, and highly effective types of antibiotics are being developed less and less, modern medicine must look for new therapeutic methods to treat infectious diseases. Potential antibacterial solutions include bacteriophage-based therapeutics, which have very different properties from the broad-spectrum antibiotics that are currently the standard of care and can be used in combination with them, often in synergy. This review traces the evolution of the development of approaches to bacteriophage therapy and outlines ways to introduce phage therapy into the practice of modern medicine
