Abstract
Excessive use of antibiotics in various industries including agriculture, fisheries, and pharmaceutical industry has led to the emergence of superbacteria which is antibiotic resistant pathogenic bacteria. For that reason, alternative antibiotics have been researched and developed to replace the drugs. Bacteriophage, which is human-friendly and has host-specific characteristics, is one of the alternative antibiotics candidates and can effectively inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella, Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, and Listeria monocytogenes. In this paper, status of antibiotic resistant pathogenic bacteria and treatment of bacteriophages for the control of the pathogenic bacteria are shortly reviewed.
