Bacteria Replacement (None)

"Bacteria replacement" is a broad term encompassing therapeutic strategies aimed at eradicating or inhibiting pathogenic bacteria and potentially facilitating the recolonization of the affected niche by beneficial or commensal microorganisms. It does not refer to a single molecular target, but rather to an approach that involves targeting specific bacterial components (e.g., enzymes, structural proteins, virulence factors) to disrupt bacterial viability or function. This may be followed by the introduction of beneficial bacteria to restore a healthy microbial balance.
