Bacteriophages are the viruses that infect and replicates within a bacterium. Bacteriophages firstly attach to the bacterium and then insert its genetic material inside the bacterium. After insertion, the genetic material of the virus particle gets attached to the genetic material of the bacteria and causes protein synthesis that lead to generation of many virus particles inside the bacterium. Bacteriophages have several characteristics that make them potentially attractive therapeutic agents. They are highly specific and very effective in lysing targeted pathogenic bacteria. Bacterial resistance to phages will unquestionably develop; the rate of developing resistance to phages is approximately 10-fold lower than that to antibiotics.
