Active bacteriophage biocontrol and therapy on sub-millimeter scales towards removal of unwanted bacteria from foods and microbiomes

Bacteriophages can be used as antibacterial agents as a form of biological control, e.g., such as phage therapy. With active treatment, phages must “actively” produce new virions, <em>in situ</em>, to attain “inundative” densities, i.e., sufficient titers to eradicate bacteria over reaso...
