Antimicrobial resistance is life-threatening to pediatric patients with medical complexity 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 Pseudomonasaeruginosa infection after receiving a multiorgan transplant.
