Treatment with bacteriophages: pros and cons
17.10.2019
For many decades, antibiotics have saved humanity, but there is an opinion that their era is coming to an end. The reason for this was the frivolity of people. Many patients - usually successful careerists, professionals who do not have time to visit a doctor - practice self-administration of medications. As a result, an increasing number of infections become resistant to antibiotics, and the effectiveness and efficiency of these drugs decreases. The recommendations of the World Health Organization are to strictly control the use of antibiotics and, in all cases where possible, look for alternatives. Currently, bacteriophages are considered an effective alternative substitute for antibiotics.
A bacteriophage is a virus that replicates in living cells of the host. It consists of DNA and a protein shell. An important advantage of bacteriophages over antibiotics is that they do not disrupt the normal microflora of the body. This is possible due to targeted effects: bacteriophages attach to only one type of microbe.
The phage DNA multiplies, penetrating inside the pathogenic cell, then breaks the host cell membrane and infects microbes. Bacteriophages are often used in complex antibacterial therapy. If there is no mortal threat to the patient, this alternative means of disease control is preferred. Currently, a variety of phages have been created, a large number of dosage forms have been produced - suppositories, aerosols, solutions, tablets, etc.
Bacteriophages are used in many fields of medicine:
- gynecology;
- surgery;
- otolaryngology;
- gastroenterology;
- pulmonology;
- urology.
Depending on the causative agent of the disease and the type of disease, a specific medication is prescribed.
Advantages of bacteriophages over antibiotics:
- are not addictive and do not suppress human immunity;
- compatible with all medications, including antibiotics (bacteriophages enhance their effect);
- do not cause resistance in bacterial cultures;
- effective in the treatment of indolent bacterial infections that are insensitive to antibiotics;
- selectively act and do not destroy beneficial bacterial microflora;
- have no contraindications.
At the same time, using bacteriophages independently, without the prescription and supervision of a specialist, can be no less dangerous than antibiotics. Indeed, in order to identify the causative agent of the disease and understand how sensitive it is to phages, a special study is required.
However, bacteriophages are used not only in the treatment, but also in the prevention of diseases of a bacterial nature, for example, caused by:
- hemolytic Escherichia coli;
- staphylococcus, streptococcus, enterococcus;
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa;
- Proteus, etc.;
For a long time, bacteriophages have been successfully used in the treatment of:
- purulent-inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity and periodontal tissues;
- diseases of the ENT organs;
- dysbacteriosis in adults and children;
- for pyoderma of the skin, insect and animal bites, wound infections;
- bacterial diseases of the genitourinary system.
They are also used for prevention in case of bacterial complications due to acute respiratory infections and influenza. With early detection of the pathogen and properly prescribed prophylaxis, the effectiveness of phage preparations is greatest.
Despite all the advantages, it can hardly be assumed that bacteriophages are capable of completely eliminating the use of antibiotics at this stage of development of science and medicine. Both of these drugs are used in different situations and rather complement each other. As with antibiotics, it is important to ensure that their use does not go beyond the control of specialists. This is the only way they will remain an important aid in the fight against infections.

Possibilities of using bacteriophages in the treatment of infectious diseases of the ENT organs in children

Department of Ear, Nose and Throat Diseases, First Moscow State Medical University named after. THEM. Sechenov Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, Moscow Less than a century of history of the use of antibacterial drugs in the treatment of infectious and inflammatory diseases has demonstrated the wide possibilities for adaptation of many strains of microorganisms to the toxic effects of these drugs.
Over the past decades, the resistance of infectious agents to antimicrobial drugs widely used in otorhinolaryngology has increased significantly. In childhood, the incidence of diseases of the ENT organs is higher than in adults, while at the same time, viral diseases in children are often complicated by the development of bacterial processes, which leads to the search for new methods of etiotropic therapy. An analysis of the literature above shows the validity of the use of phage therapy in the treatment of diseases of the ENT organs in children, both locally and systemically, including in combination with traditional antibacterial therapy. The advantage of therapeutic bacteriophages is their high specificity for certain microorganisms, good compatibility with other drugs, minimal risk of adverse events and the absence of allergic reactions. In childhood, the frequency of infectious and inflammatory diseases of the upper respiratory tract and ear is much higher than in adults, which is determined by a number of anatomical features, as well as the imperfection of the child’s immune system.
The significant prevalence of ENT diseases in childhood often correlates with the development of severe and numerous complications. The vast majority of infectious processes of the ENT organs in children have a viral etiology; in 25–30% of acute diseases of the respiratory tract, viral-bacterial associations are detected [6]. It is no secret that viral infections in children quite often cause the development of bacterial processes in the ENT organs - rhinosinusitis, tonsillopharyngitis, otitis, etc. Etiologically significant pathogens in most of the above clinical cases are Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pyogenes Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydia pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Arcanobacterium haemolyticum, Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis
and some other microorganisms [4, 5, 13]. Diseases of the paranasal sinuses are the most common complications of respiratory viral infections, however, tonsillopharyngitis and otitis media are of no less clinical importance due to the high risk of developing chronic processes. Otitis media in childhood develops much more often than in adult patients. For example, by the age of 3, 83% of children experience at least one episode of acute otitis media, and 46% are diagnosed with 3 or more cases of this disease [14].
Adequate etiotropic therapy of bacterial infections of the ENT organs is an urgent problem of modern clinical medicine. The use of antibacterial drugs in the treatment of infectious and inflammatory diseases over the years has led to the development of adaptation of a significant number of strains of microorganisms to the toxic effects of drugs. The process of pathogen resistance is also facilitated by the conditions provided by nature for the exchange of various genetic elements between bacteria. Also among the factors contributing to the growth of resistance of microorganisms, it should be noted the uncontrolled use of antibiotics, patients’ independent reduction of treatment periods, and the use of low doses of drugs. Since the eighties of the twentieth century, there has been a significant increase in the resistance of microorganisms to many antibacterial drugs, including macrolides and β-lactams, traditionally widely used in otorhinolaryngology. Recently, there has been a sharp increase in the number of bacterial strains producing β-lactamases, which, according to the literature, may be due to the widespread use of different generations of cephalosporins in inpatient and outpatient practice [12]. It is very important to consider that the use of antibacterial drugs in any case has a damaging effect not only on pathogenic, but also on the normal microflora of the human body, thereby increasing the risk of subsequent colonization by pathogenic microflora. Considering the above, the relevance of choosing rational etiotropic topical therapy for bacterial infections in childhood is beyond doubt. Bacteriophages have good prospects in this aspect.
Bacteriophages were discovered by Canadian microbiologist Felix D'Herelle in 1917 while observing the effect of bacterial lysis [11]. Before him, other researchers had encountered similar phenomena (N.F. Gamaleya, 1898; F. Twort, 1915), but it was F. D'Herelle who not only suggested the viral etiology of bacterial death, but also managed to isolate the lytic factor. The discovered viruses were called bacteriophages and began to be used in the treatment of infectious diseases. However, with the advent of the “era of antibiotics,” phage therapy was undeservedly forgotten. At present, when antibiotic resistance of pathogenic microorganisms is increasing everywhere and the effectiveness of etiotropic treatment is steadily decreasing, the interest of clinical medicine in bacteriophages has again increased markedly.
Bacteriophages are the most numerous, widespread in the biosphere and, presumably, the most evolutionarily ancient group of viruses. Scientists have calculated that 1024 bacteria can be infected by bacteriophages in 1 second [15]. One of the areas of application of bacteriophages is antimicrobial treatment, an alternative to antibacterial drugs.
Due to their high safety and reactogenicity, bacteriophages are approved for use in pediatrics without age restrictions (including premature infants) [1, 3, 7]. The use of bacteriophage preparations stimulates the activation of specific and nonspecific immunity factors, therefore phage therapy is especially effective in the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases against the background of immunosuppressive conditions [8, 16]. In August 2009 The Nestle Nutrition Corporation (Switzerland) in Bangladesh initiated clinical studies of the use of Escherichia coli bacteriophage in the treatment of intestinal infections in children aged 6 to 60 months, the results of which demonstrated good tolerability and high efficiency of this treatment method [17]. Another study in children with acute purulent rhinosinusitis showed a positive effect of bacteriophages on mucociliary clearance, an important universal mechanism for protecting the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract. This allows us to classify bacteriophages not only as etiological, but also as pathogenetic agents for the treatment of purulent-inflammatory diseases of the ENT organs [10]. Based on the results of clinical studies, data were also obtained on the positive effect of phage therapy on the clinical manifestations of chronic tonsillitis and the inoculation of Staphylococcus aureus from the surface of the palatine tonsils [9].
Currently, the Russian medical industry produces various bacteriophage preparations to combat infectious diseases caused by a significant range of pathogenic and opportunistic bacteria [18].
In most clinical cases, bacteriophages are prescribed for oral administration, but this is not the only way to use them. To treat and prevent diseases of the ENT organs, you can instill the drug into the nasal cavity, rinse, rinse and irrigate the tonsils with it, and insert turundas with a medicinal solution into the ear canal. Currently, the following bacteriophages are used: staphylococcal, streptococcal, dysenteric polyvalent, klebsiella, pyobacteriophage and others. Pyobacteriophage polyvalent - Sextaphage (FSUE NPO "Microgen" of the Ministry of Health of Russia) is capable of specifically destroying the most significant pathogens of diseases of the ENT organs, in particular staphylococci, streptococci and other microorganisms. In connection with the above properties, indications for the use of this drug are purulent-inflammatory diseases of the upper respiratory tract and ear, as well as their complications - phlegmon and abscesses. According to the manufacturer's instructions, the drug can be used topically - in the form of rinses, irrigations, applications; for insertion into the paranasal sinuses, middle ear cavity, and rinsing the abscess cavity. For intracavitary administration for infections of the ENT organs, it is recommended to use from 2.0 to 20.0 ml 1 to 3 times a day. The duration of treatment with polyvalent pyobacteriophage ranges from 5 to 15 days. There is data on the anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory properties of the drug pyobacteriophage polyvalent (Sextaphage) [2]. Analysis of the history, mechanism of action and use of bacteriophages in medicine allows us to say with confidence that the advantage of this method of treatment is the ability of viral agents to infect both sensitive and polyantibiotic-resistant microbial cells. An important feature of phage therapy in comparison with etiotropic chemotherapy is the absence of the risk of the spread of pathogenic agents resistant to therapy in the population and the negative impact on normal microflora. Features of bacteriophages that give an advantage over other methods of treatment are also their high specificity for certain microorganisms, good compatibility with other drugs, and the absence of allergic reactions and other undesirable effects.
Thus, phage therapy is an effective and safe treatment method and can be used in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the ENT organs of bacterial etiology, including in childhood.
