Phage group
AN INFORMAL NETWORK OF BIOLOGISTS THAT CONTRIBUTED HEAVILY TO BACTERIAL GENETICS AND THE ORIGINS OF MOLECULAR BIOLOGY IN THE MID-20TH CENTURY.
School of the Phage; American Phage Group; Phage Group; American phage group
The phage group (sometimes called the American Phage Group) was an informal network of biologists centered on Max Delbrück that contributed heavily to bacterial genetics and the origins of molecular biology in the mid-20th century. The phage group takes its name from bacteriophages, the bacteria-infecting viruses that the group used as experimental model organisms.

THERAPEUTIC USE OF BACTERIOPHAGES TO TREAT PATHOGENIC BACTERIAL INFECTIONS
Bacteriophage therapy; Phagotherapy; Phage resistance; Phage therapy in agriculture; Crop phage therapy
Phage therapy, viral phage therapy, or phagotherapy is the therapeutic use of bacteriophages for the treatment of pathogenic bacterial infections. This therapeutic approach emerged at the beginning of the 20th century but was progressively replaced by the use of antibiotics in most parts of the world after the second world war.

VIRUS THAT INFECTS AND REPLICATES WITHIN BACTERIA
Phage; Bacteriophages; Bacteria phage; Bacteriophagous; Bacteriophage typing; Phages; Bacterial virus; RNA phage; Headful hypothesis; Bacterophage; Bacteriaphage
A program that modifies other programs or databases in
unauthorised ways; especially one that propagates a virus or
Trojan horse. See also worm, mockingbird. The
analogy, of course, is with phage viruses in biology.

Pseudomonas virus phi6
.jpg?width=120)
Φ6 (Phi 6) is the best-studied bacteriophage of the virus family Cystoviridae. It infects Pseudomonas bacteria (typically plant-pathogenic P. syringae). It has a three-part, segmented, double-stranded RNA genome, totalling ~13.5 kb in length. Φ6 and its relatives have a lipid membrane around their nucleocapsid, a rare trait among bacteriophages. It is a lytic phage, though under certain circumstances has been observed to display a delay in lysis which may be described as a "carrier state".
Examples of use of -phage
1. Craig Venter, the US entrepreneur famous for sequencing the human genome, announced in 2003 that his team had constructed the virus phage PhiX174 in two weeks.
2. In time, phage creams could also be used to tackle the hospital superbug Clostridium difficile, E coli and other hard–to–treat bacteria.
3. The push to unlock the mysteries of human genetics in the years after World War II was led by the "phage group," a small collection of scientists that included Stent, James Watson and Francis Crick.
