Synopsis

An up-to-date examination of phages, exploring their role in the biology and pathogenicity of specific pathogens as well as the application of phage biology to biotechnology. - Opens with the exciting history of phage research, beginning with Felix d'Herelle's 1917 description of a "microbe" that was antagonistic to bacteria, which he termed a bacteriophage. - Covers general information that will familiarize readers with phage biology and explores the role of phages in the biology and pathogenicity of specific infectious bacteria. - Details the application of phages in technology, including comprehensive material on recombineering in prokaryotes, polysaccharide-degrading phages, and the use of phage in therapy and detection of bacteria.
