Journal Article
Bacteriophages and their potential for treatment of gastrointestinal diseases
2022
Overview
Although bacteriophages have been overshadowed as therapeutic agents by antibiotics for decades, the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria and a better understanding of the role of the gut microbiota in human health and disease have brought them back into focus. In this Perspective, we briefly introduce basic phage biology and summarize recent discoveries about phages in relation to their role in the gut microbiota and gastrointestinal diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease and chronic liver disease. In addition, we review preclinical studies and clinical trials of phage therapy for enteric disease and explore current challenges and potential future directions.In this Perspective, Duan, Young and Schnabl explore the effects of bacteriophages on the gut microbiota and the potential applications of phage therapy for treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. Limitations and challenges of phage therapy for gastrointestinal diseases are also discussed.
