Mission<\/h2>
Phage therapy (PT) is also called bacteriophage therapy. It uses viruses to treat bacterial infections. Bacterial viruses are called phages or bacteriophages. They only attack bacteria; phages are harmless to people, animals, and plants.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/figure>

Ideas<\/h2>
Bacteriophages are the natural enemies of bacteria. The word bacteriophage means \u201cbacteria eater.\u201d They\u2019re found in soil, sewage, water, and other places bacteria live. These viruses help keep bacteria growth in check in nature.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/figure>

Technology<\/h2>
Phage therapy might sound new, but it has been used for 100 years. However, the treatment isn\u2019t well known. More research is needed on bacteriophages. This therapy for disease-causing bacteria may be a useful alternative to antibiotics.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
