Bacteriophages

In response to the emergence of pathogenic bacteria that cannot be treated with current antibiotics many researchers are revisiting the use of bacteriophages or phages to fight multidrug-resistant bacteria. Bacteriophages: Biology and Applications provides unparalleled comprehensive information on bacteriophages and their applications such as phage therapy. It offers techniques media and methodology involved in isolating and working with therapeutic phages. Photographs line drawings and electron micrographs of phages are also included.
