Genomic and functional characterization of six novel phages targeting multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli: promising candidates for clinical phage therapy
Antimicrobial resistance in multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli has severely compromised the efficacy of conventional antibiotics, particularly in hospital-acquired infections. Bacteriophage therapy offers a targeted approach, yet the rapid emergence of phage-resistant mutants during monotherapy limits its durability....
