Phage History

Hey Guys,

I can not wait to start on our genome tomorrow. I have been anticipating this day all semester. To celebrate this milestone, I found an article on the history of phages, and how phages are used in phage therapy. We have read some of this stuff before, but there is some new information dealing with how we found phages. I would look specifically at the “Discovery of Bacteriophages and Early Phage Therapy Research” part of the article. This part has some neat history.
