Phage therapy for Acinetobacter baumannii infection

Abstract

Acinetobacter is a gram-negative nosocomial pathogenic bacteria. The contributing factor for the pathogenicity of Acinetobacter is severe due to its property of antibacterial drug resistance. Often antibiotic treatment is used to treat bacterial infection, however due to the resistance of a broad range of antibiotics by Acinetobacter the treatment viability of this bacterial species seems to be reduced. To combat this diverse treatment options are being incorporated with phage therapy being an effective choice due to its intrinsic property to infect bacteria. In this chapter the various phage therapy used in recent times has been elaborated on. The phage therapy is considered to be in response to Carbapenem resistance. The various mode of phage propagation has been mentioned in this chapter along with the type of resistance conferred to the administered therapy. The chapter deals with the advances observed due to therapy of Acibel004, Acibel007, vB-GEC_Ab-M-G7, ZZ1 and Bacteriophage p54 containing Endolysin LysAB54 bacteriophages have been elucidated.
