Temperate Bacteriophages—The Powerful Indirect Modulators of Eukaryotic Cells and Immune Functions

Abstract excerpt

Bacteriophages are natural biological entities that limit the growth and amplification of bacteria. They are important stimulators of evolutionary variability in bacteria, and currently are considered a weapon against antibiotic resistance of bacteria. Nevertheless, apart from their antibacterial activity, phages may act as modulators of mammalian immune responses. In this paper, we focus on temperate phages able...
