Isolation and characterization of bacteriophages from wastewater sources on Enterococcus spp. isolated from clinical samples. Enterococcus faecalis

Due to dramatic increases in bacterial antibiotic resistance in recent decades, use of antibiotics to treat infections is not thoroughly effective. Therefore, researchers have used bacteriophages, as drug alternatives, to treat bacterial infections resistant to multiple antimicrobials. The major aims of this study were to isolate and identify phages from municipal wastewaters on antibiotic-resistant clinical Enterococcus strains.
