Nowadays, excessive use of antibiotics in
the treatment of human and animal diseases
has caused bacteria’s multidrug resistant
rise against antibiotics. Additionally, new
antibiotics’ consumption involves new
resistant genes that can shortly spread
among other bacteria and need new
antibiotics for its control and this requires
spending millions of dollar.Methicillin -
resistant staphylococcus is one of the mos
invasive bacteria that quickly become
resistant to the new generation of
antibiotics. Bacteriophages are viruses that
infect and replicate inside bacteria and
finally lyse the host cells. Phage entry into
the host bacterial cell requires a specific
receptor. Phages are not able to identify
other cells especially eukaryotic cells.
