Is one type of the bacteriophage (lytic vs lysogenic) a better candidate for phage therapy and why? LikeLike Reply
Lytic phages are the only candidate for phage therapy due to the type of lifecycle. Thank you for your question! LikeLike Reply
The size of the head and tail are characteristics of the phages morphology. They help show us what class of phage we are working with. LikeLike Reply
Do bacteria develop resistances to phages like they do with traditional antibiotics? If so is there a way to prevent this? LikeLike Reply
Phage can develop a resistance to bacteria like they do with antibiotics. However this can be avoided through the use of phage “cocktails” containing multiple different phages since there are thousands to choose from. LikeLike Reply

The shape, or morphology of the phage can help us classify it into a family.
