Many studies have reported that phages are more specific to bacteria than antibiotics are; thus, phage therapy has many poten- tial applications in human medicine, with the advantage of having few side effects （Keen, 2012）. Investigating the mechanisms of bacteria-killing phages will therefore aid in the development of antibacterial drugs.展开更多
