  1. Biological Engineering Application: Phage Therapy for Antibiotic-Resistant Infections Antibiotic resistance is a growing public health crisis, with an estimated 700,000 deaths annually(O’Neill, 2016). Phage therapy uses bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria) to treat these infections. Unlike broad-spectrum antibiotics, phage are precise and can replicate at the site of infection. This new form of therapy can help us combat the increasing pollution of antibiotic resistance bacteria.
