Bacteriophages and biotechnology: a review

2000-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Bacteriophages are viruses whose hosts are bacterial cells. Like all viruses, phages are metabolically inert in their extra-cellular form, reproducing only after infecting suitable host bacteria. Discovered over 80 years ago, they have played a key role in the development of modern biotechnology. Their initial isolation appeared to offer the first therapeutic for the control of infectious disease. The discovery of...
