Phage typing is a phenotypic method that uses bacteriophages ("phages" for short) for detecting and identifying single strains of bacteria. Phages are...

Enterobacteria phage λ (lambda phage, coliphage λ, officially Escherichia virus Lambda) is a bacterial virus, or bacteriophage, that infects the bacterial...

Phage therapy, viral phage therapy, or phagotherapy is the therapeutic use of bacteriophages for the treatment of pathogenic bacterial infections. This...

(a pink color) tests are all done. For staphylococcal food poisoning, phage typing can be performed to determine whether the staphylococci recovered from...

Enterobacteria phage T2, Enterobacteria phage T4 and Enterobacteria phage T6. Dating back to the 1940s and continuing today, T-even phages are considered...

The phage is covered by a protective protein coat. The T2 phage can quickly turn an E. coli cell into a T2-producing factory that releases phages when...

Bacteriophage T7 (or the T7 phage) is a bacteriophage, a virus that infects bacteria. It infects most strains of Escherichia coli and relies on these...

Phage display is a laboratory technique for the study of protein–protein, protein–peptide, and protein–DNA interactions that uses bacteriophages (viruses...

used to trace the source of outbreaks of infections by a method called phage typing. The complete set of viruses in an organism or habitat is called the...
