The use of bacteriophages in modern medicine has proved to be useful. The term “bacteriophage” stands for bacteria eater. Bacteriophages occasionally remove a portion of their host cells' bacterial DNA during the infection process and then transfer this DNA into the genome of new host cells. This process is known as transduction. Phage therapy is the use of bacteriophage to treat bacterial infections. Phage therapy is typically used when conventional antibiotics are not effective.
