Case report: Local bacteriophage therapy for fracture-related infection with polymicrobial multi-resistant bacteria: hydrogel application and postoperative phage analysis through metagenomic sequencing

Fracture-related infections can be challenging, particularly with concomitant severe bone defects and multi-resistant microorganisms. We present a case of a 42-year-old patient with a fracture-related infection following a war injury from a gunshot, resulting in a 12-cm subtrochanteric segmental bon...
