DESCRIPTION:In light of the developing antibiotic crisis interest in phage
  therapy has been greatly renewed in the Western scientific community. At 
 the end of the first bacteriophage era there were many problems with phage
  therapy\, most importantly an insufficient understanding of what ‘phage
 ’ actually was. This time\, the advent of the genomic era is giving us a
  multitude of new tools to characterise phages themselves and the interact
 ion with their hosts. \nIn this talk\, I will detail how we used a combina
 tion of sequence analysis tools to characterise the Intesti bacteriophage 
 cocktail\, a key commercial product of the Eliava Institute\, Georgia\, ta
 rgeting gastrointestinal pathogens.\n
