Abstract

Bacteriophages are alternative medicines to overcome the problem of the global spread of multidrug- and pandrug-resistant strains to antimicrobial agents. The priority developments in the use of bacteriophages, which were made in the Soviet Union in the 1970s and 1980s, have shown their high epidemiological efficacy and prospects for using these drugs in the fight against infections. At the same time, the requirements for the biological safety of drugs and for medical care determine the need to consider a number of aspects that prevent the use of bacteriophages. The paper considers the problems that limit the use of bacteriophages in medicine.
