September of 2012. "Bacteriophages are viruses that infect
bacteria; as such, they have many potential uses for promoting
health and combating disease. This book covers the many facets
of phage-bacterial-human interaction in three sections: the role
and impact of phages on natural bacterial communities, the
potential to develop phage-based therapeutics and other aspects
in which phages can be used to combat disease, including
bacterial detection, bacterial epidemiology, the tracing of
fecal contamination of water and decontamination of foods." For
