The increasing prevalence of multidrug-resistant bacteria, especially in companion animals, is a serious problem for the treatment of bacterial infections. This poses a threat to the health of animal owners.

The use of bacteriophages as an alternative or additive to antibiotics has the potential to counteract this problem. The prerequisite for this is a differentiated and close-meshed veterinary diagnosis of the clinical course of the disease.

The specialist laboratory for veterinary diagnostics Laboklin GmbH & Co. KG has dedicated itself to this task with the establishment of a phage center.
