Bacteriophage Research

Bacteriophage, which are also known as phage or bacterial virus, any group of viruses that infect bacteria. Bacteriophages were discovered independently by Frederick W. Twort and Félix d’Hérelle. Research on phages has significantly enhanced our understanding of molecular biology, the genomes of prokaryotic cells, and viral ecology. Phages and lysins offer a viable alternative to the declining utility of antibiotics during this post-antibiotic era. They also provide ideal teaching tools for genomics and bioinformatics. Before the discovery and widespread use of antibiotics, it had been suggested that bacterial infections might be prevented and/or treated by the administration of bacteriophages. Now that more and more bacteria have developed resistance to antibiotics, scientists around the globe have a renewed interests in phages.
