sanitizing agent against hospital acquired infections like MRSA [86]. Also a phage (pVp-1) was able to overcome the resistant strain of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in experimentally infected mice [127]. Phages can lyse bacteria in the supurrative wounds, mucous membrane and biofilm which are antibiotics resistant [128-132]. Only one dose of anti-K1 polysaccharide capsule phage was as effective as numerous injections of streptomycin in treating a highly virulent lethal dose of E. coli strain having…
