**6. Phage therapy in animal infections caused by** *S. aureus*

The use of bacteriophages or bacteriophage cocktails and the use of endolysins represent a potential alternative for the treatment of infections caused by *S. aureus*. Although several diseases caused by *S. aureus* in animals have been described in a previous section, most of the research in phage therapy has been done for bovine mastitis, so it will be the central point of this section.
