Bacteriophages (phages) are viruses that infect bacterial hosts, and since their discovery over a century ago they have been primarily exploited to control bacterial revlon colorstay lip liner plum populations and to serve as tools in molecular biology.In this commentary, we highlight recent diverse advances in the field of phage research, going beyond bacterial control using whole phage, to areas including biocontrol using phage-derived enzybiotics, diagnostics, drug tillman 750m discovery, novel drug delivery systems and bionanotechnology.
