Bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria) are fascinating
organisms that have played and continue to play a key role in
bacterial genetics and molecular biology. Phage can confer key
phenotypes on their host for example, converting a non-pathogenic
strain into a pathogen and they play a key role in regulating
bacterial populations in all sorts of environments. The
phage-bacterium relationship varies enormously, from the simple
predator-prey model to a complex, almost symbiotic relationship
that promotes the survival and evolutionary success of both. While
infection of bacteria used in the fermentation industry can be very
problematic and result in financial losses, in other scenarios,
phage infection of bacteria can be exploited for industrial and/or
medical applications. Interest in phage and phage gene products as
potential therapeutic agents is increasing rapidly and is likely to
have a profound impact on the pharmaceutical industry and
biotechnology in general over the comi
