Bacteriophages, which target and destroy bacteria, represent a promising alternative to antibiotics, especially as drug resistance becomes a growing global concern.
Zeldovich outlines in her book how bacteriophages have been overlooked in the U.S. in favor of antibiotics, despite their long history of use in treating infections.
The resurgence of interest in bacteriophages is driven by the dire need for effective treatments against superbugs that are resistant to currently available antibiotics.
While bacteriophage therapies are undergoing experimental trials in the U.S., they have already found application in the food industry, demonstrating their versatility and effectiveness.
