Persistent bacterial lung infections in children lead to significant morbidity and mortality due to antibiotic resistance. In this paper, we describe how phage therapy has shown remarkable efficacy in preclinical and clinical studies, demonstrating significant therapeutic benefits through various administration routes. Ongoing trials are evaluating its safety and effectiveness against different pathogens. Advancing phage therapy through systematic studies and international collaboration could provide a viable alternative to traditional antibiotics for persistent infections.
由于抗生素耐药性,儿童持续性细菌性肺部感染会导致严重的发病率和死亡率。在本文中,我们描述了噬菌体疗法如何在临床前和临床研究中显示出显著疗效,通过各种给药途径证明了显著的治疗益处。正在进行的试验正在评估其对不同病原体的安全性和有效性。通过系统研究和国际合作推进噬菌体疗法,可为持续性感染提供一种可行的替代传统抗生素的方法。
