Abstract:
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major worldwide health concern, characterized by the ability of microorganisms to withstand the effects of medications that once effectively treated infections. Phage therapy has emerged as a promising alternative for management of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections. Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) exemplifies the emergence of bacteria resistant to clinically relevant antimicrobials, leading to severe nosocomial infections and exhibiting extensive and pan drug-resistant (XDR and PDR) traits. In response, this study isolated A. baumannii virulent phage designated as vB_AbaP_PhE54 against carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii (CRAB) pathogen and examined its morphological characteristics using an electron micrograph. Phage stability at different temperatures, pH, chloroform, safety, therapeutic evaluation, and growth kinetics have been analyzed.
