Sommario/riassunto

Describes the fundamental biology and applications of the bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria. This book provides a contemporary guide to each major phage family, highlights interesting topics, and provides a description of the kinds of phages that are associated with the major classes of eubacteria and archaea.
