Is phage therapy useful only for humans?
No. Phages have great potential in controlling and eliminating bacterial pathogens in the environment, animals, and plants. Phages provide an eco-friendly approach for hospital and workplace hygiene(e.g. in food processing), as well as in control of harmful bacteria like E.coli, Listeria and Salmonella, which cause periodic outbreaks of food poisoning around the world. Leaf blight and other plant diseases caused by bacteria can also be controlled with phage.
