Progress of research on Acinetobacter baumannii phages
Carbapenem antibiotics are known as the last line of defense against pathogenic bacteria,however,the Acinetobacter baumannii shows an increasingly drug resistance in recent years and has become one of most chal-lenging hospital-acquired pathogens worldwide.As natural killers against bacteria,phages have great potential in tackling the growing threat of multidrug resistance.In this review,most of the current studies on bacteriophage a-gainst A.baumannii were summarized in terms of single phage therapy,bacteriophage cocktail therapy,bacterio-phage derived enzymes against pathogens,and the therapeutic effects were discussed.This paper aims to provide a more comprehensive understanding of A.baumannii phages and theoretical support for the clinical application of A.baumannii phages.
