Bacteriophage‐based therapies to combat forms of resistance in bacteria. Bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacterial cells, are emerging as promising tools to address challenging infections. These include those stemming from “superbugs” (multidrug‐resistant bacteria), “biofilms” (communities of bacteria shielded by polysaccharides), and “L‐forms” (cell wall‐deficient bacteria).
