1. Specificity: Bacteriophages target specific bacteria, reducing the risk of disrupting the normal flora. 2. Efficacy against Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria: Phages can be effective against bacteria that have developed resistance to antibiotics. 3. Safety: Phages are generally considered safe as they do not infect human cells. 4. Minimal Side Effects: Due to their specificity, phages are less likely to cause side effects compared to broad-spectrum antibiotics.
