Application during phage therapy of sufficient titers to achieve inundative densities without relying upon in situ phage replication.
| Passive Treatment is supplying sufficient numbers of phages during phage therapy to result based on those phage numbers alone in successful bacteria eradication. |
Passive treatment is simply employing phages in a manner that is typical for drugs in general, i.e., all of the phages that will be present, or at least which need to be present, are those which are supplied via phage application.
That is, what's in the formulated product is all that is needed for treatment success.
This is analogous to dosing with gamma globulins, i.e., in that there is no generation of additional antibodies in situ with such treatments, just as there is no need for generation of additional phages in situ with passive phage treatments
Contrast with active treatment and rit equirements during phage therapy for auto dosing.
