Their potential as antibacterial agents was appreciated almost immediately, with the first 'phage therapy' trials predating Fleming's discovery of penicillin by approximately a decade. In this ...

From these experiments, Hershey and Chase determined that protein formed a protective coat around the bacteriophage that functioned in both phage attachment to the bacterium and in the injection ...

Future Microbiol. 2013;8(6):769-783. The use of phage cocktails can be conceptually differentiated into: efforts that seek to broaden the utility of phage formulations, that is, what diseases or ...
