Possibilities and Prospects of Application of Bacteriophages in the Treatment of Chronic Soft Tissue Wounds

Abstract

Currently, the problem of antibiotic resistance of the most pathogenic microorganisms is very relevant, and therefore it is necessary to search for new ways to eliminate pathogens of the infectious process in chronic soft tissue wounds. The article presents generalized data from published scientific studies that substantiate the clinical potential of using bacteriophages for the rehabilitation of chronic soft tissue wounds. The results of domestic and foreign studies confirm the safety and effectiveness of the use of bacteriophages in the treatment of chronic soft tissue wounds. The main problems limiting the spread of phage therapy are the high specificity of phages and the technical complexity of their immobilization in the area of clinical interest. Further research is needed and promising in the field of phage therapy in order to improve the results of treatment of chronic soft tissue wounds.
