Nota di contenuto | 1. Introduction: What are Bacteriophage: a. Discovery and early phage work (including work with bacterial genetics, phage display, and phage therapy) -- b. Bacteriophage pathogenesis and host range -- c. Bacteriophage growth dynamics -- d. Bacteriophage pharmacokinetics( including mammalian host tolerance ) -- 2. Applications with Bacteriophage: a. Phage Therapy -- i. Past – why phage therapy was unsuccessful in the past and what can (and is currently) being done to improve the system -- ii. Present /Future – current research objectives and future considerations -- Host range and how it can be expanded -- Lethal agent delivery systems (bacteriocidial) -- Lethality without lysis -- b.

Phage for gene delivery -- Phage display for specific cell targeting -- Considerations for use and benefits in comparison to current systems -- ii. Phage as Drug Carriers -- Selectivity and cell attachment -- Phage T2 as a potential cancer therapeutic -- Phage for delivery to the brain and CNS (including current work with Alzheimer’s and drug addictions ) -- d. Phage for Bacterial Detection: i. History of Phage bacterial detection -- ii. Methods (replication assays, conjugation with bioluminescence, labelling etc. ) -- iii. Potential uses in healthcare and industry -- e. Phage for the targeting of Biofilms -- i. Phage candidates and important bacterial targets -- ii.
