Distribution of bacteriophages in food and environment samples

Foodborne pathogens have become a constant threat to the consumer and food industry. Reduce efficacy of antibiotics with emergence of resistant bacteria has limited the opportunities for controlling pathogenic bacteria in food commodities and treating foodborne infections. Bacteriophages can be a pr...
