Phage therapy is experiencing renewed interest, particularly for antibiotic-resistant infections, and may also be useful for difficult-to-treat cases where surgery to remove foreign infected material is deemed too risky. We report a case of recurrent Pseudomonas aeruginosa endocarditis with Bentall infection treated successfully with a combination of antibiotics and phages.
