Bacteriophages: biology and applications/
edited by Elizabeth Kutter, Alexander Sulakvelidze.
- Boca Raton, FL : CRC Press, 2005.
- 510 p. : ill. ; 24 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
In response to the emergence of pathogenic bacteria that cannot be treated with current antibiotics, many researchers are revisiting the use of bacteriophages, or phages, to fight multidrug-resistant bacteria. Bacteriophage as Antibiotics: Molecular Biology and Applications provides unparalleled, comprehensive information on bacteriophages and their applications, such as phage therapy. It covers the techniques, media, and methodology involved in isolating and working with therapeutic phages. Photographs, line drawings, and electron micrographs of phages are also included. With its broad approach, this book is a useful reference for microbiologists, hematologists, and infectious disease researchers.
