Abstract:
Since the advancements in the field of medical science, bacteriophages have been at the zenith of interest to scientists. They have the potential to be used not only as tools to understand basic molecular biology but also as the absolute vectors of novel therapeutic agents and horizontal gene transfer. After a long time, it is finally understood, that, by finding out the secret mystery of the biology of phages and their relationship with the hosts, we may finally figure out the key to understand microbial systems and their part in it. In this review, we describe the different types of phages, how their modification is done, and finally, their application in clinical and research field. This review also shows how modeling of phages is done and how they have been administered via different routes. All the data provided here, are being consolidated together to provide unparalleled insights into these tiny but vital constituents of the microbial world. This very narrative review, actually highlights the current understanding of phages and also the new strategies for a phage revolution in the field of future health care.
