A bacteriophage is a virus that preyson bacteria. With the development of medical implants, more and more patients are receiving medical implants such as catheters and heart stents, but there is also a risk of bacterial infection
Bacteriophages can attack disease-causing bacteria, but sometimes prey on beneficial bacteria.
some researchers think that if the bacteriophages are adsorbed on the surface of the implant material and then placed inside the patient, the infection from the implant can be avoided.
