From the Back Cover
About the Cover...The image shows two T4 bacteriophage viruses
attaching to, and injecting DNA into, a bacterium. Like alien invaders,
they are going to consume the contents of the bacterial cell, using the
materials to make hundreds of copies of themselves, finally rupturing
open the cell wall of the now dead bacterium, liberating the hundreds of
offspring to attack more bacteria. Using bacteriophages (bacteriophage
therapy) gets around the problems of antibiotic-resistant strains of
bacteria. And, since a given bacteriophage will target and kill only one
specific strain of bacterium, the normal bacterial flora will not be
disturbed, thus preventing side effects such as diarrhea and vaginal
yeast infections.
Jackie black is an expert in bacteriophage
therapy. For more information on this fascinating topic, view her
