Phage Therapy in the Postantibiotic Era
TL;DR: The benefits of phage therapy beyond the clinical perspective are discussed, including opportunities for scientific outreach and effective education, interdisciplinary collaboration, cultural and economic growth, and even innovative use of social media, making the case thatphage therapy is more than just an alternative to antibiotics.

TL;DR: In this article, two bacteriophages, ΦFG02 and ΦCO01, were characterized against clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii and established that the bacterial capsule is the receptor for these phages.

Unlocking the next generation of phage therapy: the key is in the receptors
TL;DR: It is proposed that understanding the function and location of these phage receptors can open the door to improved and innovative ways to use phage therapy, and recommends priority groups of hosts and phages.

TL;DR: In this article , the effect of phage-antibiotic synergy has been studied in vitro and in vivo, with a two-stage preclinical study using a murine model of severe Acinetobacter baumannii bacteraemia.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identified phage-resistant strains that displayed mutations in genes that alter the architecture of the bacterial envelope at two levels: the capsule and the outer membrane.
