Abstract

In this article are reviewed the promising uses of phage display in the areas such as microbial pathogens detection of and vaccination. Phage display is a molecular technique by which foreign proteins are expressed at the surface of phage particles. Such phages thereby become vehicles for expression that not only carry within them the nucleotide sequence encoding expressed proteins, but have also the capability to replicate. Recent data acquired from genome sequencing and advances in phage biology research have aided the development of phage-derived bacterial detection and treatment strategies.
