Phage Therapy

Dear Colleagues,

This Topical Collection on Phage Therapy aims to provide an opportunity for scientists, physicians, veterinarians, and plant pathologists to publish research on topics related to bacteriophages and their applications, a field currently known as “phage therapy”. The collection will accept original articles, reviews, case studies, short communications, and method descriptions. It will also accommodate expert opinions, discussions, or decisions on bacteriophage manufacturing processes and regulations, as well as meeting reports and personal viewpoints or hypotheses.

The goal of this open access Topical Collection is to promote communication among stakeholders from academic, healthcare, and industry sectors, including regulators and policy makers. It will also generate a citable information source on the effective use of bacteriophages as a much-needed additional antibacterial, to gain broader acceptance for phage therapy throughout the world.
