Bibliographic Information Authors: Samir S. Journal: Recent Patents on Biotechnology Publisher: Bentham Science Publishers Publication Date: March 2021 Volume / Issue: Volume 15 / Issue 1 Pages: 25–33 ISSN: 18722083 DOI: 10.2174/1872208315666210121094311 Scopus: View on Scopus PubMed: 33475081 Document Type: Review Authors and Affiliations Samir S., Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Theodor Bilharz Research Institute, Giza, Egypt Abstract Bacteriophages are bacterio-specific viruses that constitute the main portion of the environment. Bacteriophages inject their genome into the targeted bacterial cells and some of them can disrupt the metabolism of bacteria and cause bacterial cell disintegration. The application of bacteriophages to kill bacteria is known as bacteriophage therapy. Since bacteriophages target bacteria and are strain-specific, every bacteriophage/bacterial host pair is unique. They are believed to cause no harm to humans. An...
