DESCRIPTION:Clostridium difficile is an important human pathogen\, phage h
 ave been investigated as alternative forma of treatment for the diseases i
 t cases. However\, phages also have an important role in the modification 
 of bacterial genomes. In the case of C. difficile phages have been shown t
 o modulate expression of virulence factors and have been implicated in tra
 nsducing antibiotic resistance genes. In this talk I will review these pro
 perties and how phage interact with the host genome.
