This study found no safety concerns with the bacteriophage treatment [57]
NCT00663091
T4 phage cocktail
Diarrhea
I/II
Oral phages showed a safe gut transit in children but failed to achieve intestinal amplification and to improve diarrhea outcome, possibly due to insufficient phage coverage and too low E. coli pathogen titres requiring higher oral phage doses [58]
