Bacteriophage therapy dates back almost a century, but the discovery of
antibiotics led to a rapid decline in the interests and investments within this
field of research. Recently, the novel threat of multidrug-resistant bacteria
highlighted the alarming drop in research and development of new antibiotics: 16
molecules were discovered during 1983-87, 10 new therapeutics during the
nineties, and only 5 between 2003 and 2007. Phages are therefore being
reconsidered as alternative therapeutics. Phage display technique has proved to
be extremely promising for the identification of effective antibodies directed
against pathogens, as well as for vaccine development. At the same time,
conventional phage therapy uses lytic bacteriophages for treatment of infections
and recent clinical trials have shown great potential. Moreover, several other
approaches have been developed in vitro and in vivo using phage-derived proteins
as antibacterial agents. Finally, their use has also been widely considered for
public health surveillance, as biosensor phages can be used to detect food and
water contaminations and prevent bacterial epidemics. These novel approaches
strongly promote the idea that phages and their proteins can be exploited as an
effective weapon in the near future, especially in a world which is on the brink
of a "postantibiotic era."
