| Abstract | While many bacteria are inoffensive or even beneficial to humans, some are harmful pathogens. Finding a way to kill the pathogenic bacteria without harming the beneficial microbes could prove a useful tool. Phage research has emerged as an exciting new frontier in microbiology due to its role in shaping microbiomes and as a potential therapy against drug-resistant bacterial infections. Phages identify and interact with their specific bacterial target through a structure known as the receptor-bin |
