Phage therapy is the use of bacteriophages to treat bacterial infections. Bacteriophage treatment offers a possible alternative to conventional antibiotic treatments for bacterial infection. [55] It is conceivable that, although bacteria can develop resistance to phages, the resistance might be easier to overcome than resistance to antibiotics.

An example of a bacteriophage known to follow the lysogenic cycle and the lytic cycle is the phage lambda of E. coli. [53] Sometimes prophages may provide benefits to the host bacterium while they are dormant by adding new functions to the bacterial genome , in a phenomenon called lysogenic conversion .
This list categorises drugs alphabetically and also by other categorisations. This multi-page article lists pharmaceutical drugs alphabetically by name. Many drugs have more than one name and, therefore, the same drug may be listed more than once.
A prophage is a bacteriophage (often shortened to "phage") genome that is integrated into the circular bacterial chromosome or exists as an extrachromosomal plasmid within the bacterial cell. [1] Integration of prophages into the bacterial host is the characteristic step of the lysogenic cycle of temperate phages.

This phage-display library is added to the dish and after allowing the phage time to bind, the dish is washed. Phage-displaying proteins that interact with the target molecules remain attached to the dish, while all others are washed away. Attached phage may be eluted and used to create more phage by infection of suitable bacterial hosts. The ...
A corynebacteriophage (or just corynephage) is a DNA-containing bacteriophage specific for bacteria of genus Corynebacterium as its host. [1] Corynebacterium diphtheriae virus [2] strain Corynebacterium diphtheriae phage [2] (aka Corynephage β [3] or just β-phage [4] [5]) introduces toxigenicity into strains of Corynebacterium diphtheriae as it encodes diphtheria toxin, [6] [7] [8] [5] [4 ...
