Use of bacteriophages in postcoital cystitis

Introduction. Cystitis is one of the most common bacterial infections in women. Postcoital cystitis (PC) is a special form of recurrent cystitis. Non-antibacterial methods of prophylaxis are often ineffective. The use of post-coital antibiotic prophylaxis has a good result, but this approach contradicts the current concept of rational antibiotic use. Therefore, bacteriophages have a high interest among the medical community as an alternative therapy.
