Putting Evolution to Work: Host Range Alteration for Phage Therapy.

Abstract excerpt

Host range describes the hosts that a bacteriophage can and cannot infect. Throughout the history of phage use in various applications, phages with varying host ranges have been needed and techniques to alter a phage's host range have been developed. These include techniques that rely on spontaneous mutations and others that use genetic engineering to make designed changes. Phages with altered host ranges have...
