THE phage-typing pattern of a strain of Staphylococcus aureus is believed to be determined by two factors: the ‘basic’ sensitivity of the strain to lysis by the typing phages, modified by interference ...

In an effort to illustrate that genomic surveillance can build the foundation for scaleable precision phage therapy, an international collaboration analyzed the genomes of over 15,000 cases of ...

Collateral damage to normal microbiota, which can be associated with the use of less-specific chemical antibacterials, [4] is avoided. Nonetheless, there are several challenges that must be addressed ...
