    Citation Excerpt :

    A rising issue is an increase in antimicrobial-resistant bacteria, which can affect wastewater treatment plants by biofilm formation. It was suggested that phages have the potential in being a tool to deal with antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) (Sulakvelidze, 2005). Phages have an advantage in preventing biofilm formations in membrane filters as the pore size is smaller than that of phages, and phages can be attached to the membrane surface and continuously infect oncoming bacteria without interfering with the filtration process (Brockhurst et al., 2006; Jassim et al., 2016).

‘…phages are a potentially very valuable tool for dealing with infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria and, in some cases, they might be the only effective modality currently available for saving patients' lives.’
