As infecƧƵes bacterianas, particularmente as causadas por bactĆ©rias resistentes aos antibiĆ³ticos, permanecem aprincipal causa de morte entre pacientes hospitalizados com queimaduras e feridas. Para alĆ©m da terapĆŖutica sistĆ©mica, um elemento-chave na gestĆ£o de feridas infectadas Ć© a aplicaĆ§Ć£o local de antimicrobianos eficazes. Os bacteriĆ³fagos (ou fagos) tĆŖm demonstrado um elevado potencial de cura no tratamento de feridas infectadas com estirpes bacterianas resistentes aos antibiĆ³ticos.
Bacterial infections, particularly the ones caused by antibiotic resistant bacteria, remain as the main cause of death among hospitalized patients with burns and ulcers. Besides systemic therapy, a key element on wound management is the local application of effective antimicrobial agents. Bacteriophages (or phages) have been shown as promising candidates (used alone or as complementary to antibiotic therapy) to target antibiotic-resistant bacteria on wound treatment.
