Molecular Basis of Bacterial Host Interactions by Gram-Positive Targeting Bacteriophages

Molecular Basis of Bacterial Host Interactions by Gram-Positive Targeting Bacteriophages

The inherent ability of bacteriophages (phages) to infect specific bacterial hosts makes them ideal candidates to develop into antimicrobial agents for pathogen-specific remediation in food processing, biotechnology, and medicine (e.g., phage therapy). Conversely, phage contaminations of fermentatio...
