We documented the adjunctive bacteriophage therapy to treat a chronic relapsing periprosthetic joint infection of the knee and chronic osteomyelitis of the femur caused by multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa The combined antibiotic-phage treatment eradicated the infection, and no side effects to phages were observed.
