Phage Therapy for a Multidrug-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Craniectomy Site Infection

In the era of antibiotic resistance, alternative treatment options for multidrug-resistant bacterial infections are being explored. We present a case of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infection treated with bacteriophages. Clinical trials are needed to further investigate bacteriophage...
