Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance is life-threatening to complex pediatric patients who receive multiple courses of broad-spectrum antibiotics. Bacteriophages offer a safe treatment alternative when our antibiotic armamentarium is no longer sufficient. We describe successful use of bacteriophage therapy on a patient with a recalcitrant Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection after receiving a multi-organ transplant.
