Abstract
The challenges for successful launching of a profitable phage therapeutic product include intellectual property rights, safety issues, reproducibility, stability and robustness of the product. A successful and marketable product would be a highly purified bacteriophage preparation containing one or several fully characterized phages, accompanied by optimized methods of administration and backed up by properly controlled efficacy and safety studies.
