Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The bacteriophages are our allies in the fight against drug-resistant bacteria that deserve our undivided attention. In particular, the ability of phages to infect and destroy bacterial cells poses a possibility to replace traditional antimicrobial therapies or to use them together within phage antibiotic combined therapy. A great deal of phage research also reveals the unique evolutionary trajectories and their important role in shaping the environmental microbiome. This Special Issue seeks manuscript submissions that further our understanding of the antimicrobial activity of the bacteriophages. Submissions on the bacteriophage biology, role of phages in shaping the human/animal microbiome, phage genetic engineering, bacterial host resistance, the influence of external factor on phage activity, and phage-antibiotic synergy are especially encouraged.
