Renewed Interest In Phages - an Old Therapy
There is renewed scientific interest in bacteriophages, an old therapeutic application of using "bacteria-eating" viruses called phages to fight infectious diseases.

Viral Phage Replication & Bacteria
Bacteriophages are a particular type of virus that infects only bacterial cells. Ultimately the virus kills its host, but sometimes it first becomes a hidden prophage.

Bugs Killing Bugs
Viruses don't just infect humans. Phages or bacterial viruses have been used for many years to kill bacteria in the lab. Some researchers think they might be useful in decontaminating food containing disease causing bacteria.

Lysogenic Replication of Bacteriophage Viruses
Bacteriophages reproduce by commandeering a bacterium and ultimately killing it. But sometimes, through lysogeny, the phage doesn't immediately take over its host.

Vascular Targeting Agents
Tumors are notable for having a vascular system that has physical abnormalities as well as being highly active compared with a normal vascular system. Researchers are taking advantages of these differences to develop drugs that disrupt the functioning of the tumor vascular system leading to starvation and death of the tumor.
