To combat against multidrug resistant strains (MDR) of Salmonella in Armenia, isolation and investigation of bacteriophages (phages) have been performed. 
In collaboration with the G. Eliava Institute of Bacteriophages, Microbiology and Virology bacteriophages were isolated which due to mode of action different from antibiotics, showed high efficiency against MDR strains of Salmonella.
Phage cocktails consisting of different phages displayed even more efficiency and soon will be able to replace a number of antimicrobials
