RT info:eu-repo/semantics/bachelorThesis T1 La fagoterapia como alternativa terapéutica A1 Rodríguez Rodríguez de la Sierra, Paula K1 Bacteriófago, Fagoterapia, Resistencia antibiótica, Alternativa terapéutica AB The potential of phages as antimicrobials has been known since the beginning of the 20thcentury, but the lack of rigor in clinical trials and the discovery of antibiotics led to the abandonment ofresearch in this field. The recent increase in multi-resistant bacteria and the high difficulty and cost ofmanufacturing new antibiotics has led to recover the interest in these phages, which, backed up bymultiple clinical trials, have been postulated as a possible alternative for the treatment of bacterialinfections. This bibliographic review compiles the advances that have been made in the study ofphagotherapy from its begining, the advantages and disadvantages of its therapeutic application andthe current situation of this treatment.
