TLDR
Phages are the natural enemies of bacteria, and can be used for biocontrol of bacteria without interfering with the natural microflora or the cultures in fermented products.
Abstract
The incidence of foodborne infectious diseases has increased in many countries The widespread distribution and increasing of foodborne infectious have become one of the public health problems in the world Our awareness regarding hygiene measures in food production has also increased dramatically Research directed to improve food safety has also been taken forward, also exploring novel methods and technologies The extreme specificity of phages renders them ideal candidates for applications designed to increase food safety during the production process Phages are the natural enemies of bacteria, and can be used for biocontrol of bacteria without interfering with the natural microflora or the cultures in fermented products
