Phage therapy reduces antibiotic resistance in wastewater. This infographic illustrates how PCS enhance the biodegradation of SMX in wastewater, while significantly reducing ARGs. Phages target bacteria, increasing SMX removal efficiency and reducing ARGs by promoting bacterial metabolism, biofilm formation, and lysis. The visual shows the key processes of scavenging, metabolism, element cycling, and polysaccharide metabolism, highlighting the environmental benefits of phage therapy in wastewater treatment.
