Bacteriophages
Bacteriophages, or phages, are viruses that infect and kill bacteria. They have been used as a therapeutic approach in animal health for many years, and have shown promising results in the treatment of bacterial infections in livestock, pets, and even humans. Phage therapy is a natural and safe alternative to traditional antibiotics, and has the potential to help combat the growing problem of antimicrobial resistance.
Bacteriophages can provide an effective and sustainable solution for the control of bacterial populations at various stages of the food chain: from animal to food processing facilities.
