1. Chapter 4. Bacteriophage 噬菌体 Bacteriophages ( phages ) are obligate intracellular parasites that multiply inside bacteria by making use of some or all of the host biosynthetic machinery. They are viruses that infect bacteria. Bacteriophages ( phages ) are obligate intracellular parasites that multiply inside bacteria by making use of some or all of the host biosynthetic machinery. They are viruses that infect bacteria.

10. Types of Bacteriophage Lytic or Virulent Phages 毒性噬菌体 Lytic or virulent phages are phages which can only multiply in bacteria and kill the cell by lysis at the end of the life cycle.

11. 噬菌体的种类 毒性噬菌体（ virulent phage ） – 能在宿主菌细胞内复制增殖，产生许多子代噬 菌体，并最终裂解细菌，称为毒性噬菌体 温和噬菌体（ temperate phage ） / 溶原性噬菌体（ lysogenic phage ） 溶原性噬菌体（ lysogenic phage ） – 噬菌体基因与宿主菌染色体整合，不产生子代 噬菌体，但噬菌体 DNA 能随细菌 DNA 复制，并 随细菌的分裂而传代

13. Lysogenic or Temperate Phage 溶原性噬菌体或温和噬菌体 Lysogenic or temperate phages are those that can either multiply via the lytic cycle or enter a quiescent state in the cell. In this quiescent state most of the phage genes are not transcribed; the phage genome exists in a repressed state. The phage DNA in this repressed state is called a prophage because it is not a phage but it has the potential to produce phage. In most cases the phage DNA actually integrates into the host chromosome and is replicated along with the host chromosome and passed on to the daughter cells. The cell harboring a prophage is termed a lysogenic bacterium.

14. Lytic phage are enumerated by a plaque assay. A plaque is a clear area which results from the lysis of bacteria. Each plaque arises from a single infectious phage. The infectious particle that gives rise to a plaque is called a pfu (plaque forming unit).

15. Lytic or Virulent Phages 毒性噬菌体 Lytic or virulent phages are phages which can only multiply in bacteria and kill the cell by lysis at the end of the life cycle.

Medical Applications of Phage “ I strongly believe phage could become an effective antibacterial tool ” - Carl Merril, Chief of the Laboratory of Biochemical Genetics, National Institute of Mental Health, NIH. “ It might be another string on the bow, such that when (conventional antibiotics) fail, here ’ s something that has a chance of working. But it ’ s not going to be a panacea ” - Joshua Lederberg, Sackler Foundation Scholar at The Rockefeller University Reassessment of Medicinal Phage Spurs Companies to Study Therapeutic Uses American Society for Microbiology News 64:620-623, 1998
