Can bacteriophages aid in treating biofilms and many infections?
Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria and typically follow either a lytic or lysogenic life cycle. In the lytic cycle, a phage attaches to a host cell, injects its genome, redirects host metabolism to produce progeny, and lyses the cell to release new virions. This rapid bactericidal process underlies their application as antimicrobial agents [49,50]. Host […]
