Mycobacteriophages (MPs) are emerging as a promising therapeutic addition or alternative. <br><br> This review explores the biological characteristics, therapeutic mechanisms, and clinical potential of MPs. Based on data from in vitro studies, animal models, and human compassionate-use cases, we highlight the mycobactericidal efficacy of MPs as well as their potential to complement antibiotic treatment regimens. <br><br> You can find the full publication via the <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s15010-026-02818-7">journal&rsquo;s homepage</a>, <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42223842/">PubMed</a> or the <a href="https://miru-ffm.org/publication/infection_2026">MIRU website</a>.</p>
