So clinical benefit post-phage could also stem from bacterial attenuation rather than just eradication.
Question is how sustainable this effect may be.

Antibiotic resistance at the forefront again and the issue of dealing with specific resistant bacteria without harming the beneficial ones in your system.
Hence antibacterials are out, but what about targeted bacteriophages?
Researchers in Denmark have engineered a phage with CRISPR that targets only E. coli to protect the microbiome from harm.
