Isolation of Bacteriophages and Their Lytic Profile From River and Waste Water Samples in South Western Uganda

Puntos clave

• Bacteriophages were isolated with significant lytic activity against targeted bacteria, revealing their potential as antimicrobial agents.
• The lytic profile demonstrated effectiveness in 75% of tested strains, indicating a robust antimicrobial capacity of the isolated phages.
• Isolation was conducted from river and waste water samples across several locations in South Western Uganda, highlighting diverse sources.
• These findings emphasize the potential of utilizing bacteriophages as an alternative to traditional antibiotics, especially in regions with rising antibiotic resistance.
