Description
Jiazhen Liu and co-authors treat two kidney transplant patients whose deep abscesses resisted antibiotics, using viruses that infect bacteria, in a 2025 report. Abscesses beside the transplanted kidney are a known hazard, often driven by drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Phage therapy, matching a patient's bacteria with a virus that kills it, offers an alternative when drugs fail.
Both cases received tailored phage treatment, and the authors draw lessons on timing and personalization from their course. Biofilms, the slime shields bacteria build, remain a barrier the field must beat. The team frame the cases as a step toward routine phage use for transplant patients facing superbugs, with the promise of better survival and quality of life when antibiotics run out.
