    Document: Bacteriophages (in short, phages) are viruses that specifically recognize and infect bacteria; theyare the most abundant forms of life in the biosphere outnumbering bacteria by an estimated factor ofone order of magnitude [1]. Logically, lytic phages have an enormous potential in human andveterinary medicine as "intelligent antibiotics". In contrast to static antibacterial drugs, phagesself-control their numbers at the locus of bacterial infection as they replicate on the unwantedpathogen and disintegrate into their subunits when the bacterial host is eliminated.
