Bacteriophage‐built gels as platforms for biomedical applications

Abstract Bacteriophages, or phages (bacterial viruses), have seen a resurgence in their applications following the emergence of antimicrobial‐resistant superbugs that pose enormous risks to human health and food supplies. Phages present numerous advantages over conventional small‐molecule antibiotics, including that they are highly selective bacteria‐killers and demonstrate low inherent cytotoxicity to human health. Notwithstanding the direct …
