Bacteriophages, or simply phages, are viruses that infect and replicate within bacteria, playing a crucial role in shaping microbial communities and influencing bacterial evolution. As the field of bacteriophage research advances, the choice between traditional phage microscopy and next-generation sequencing (NGS) emerges as a pivotal consideration. In this comprehensive exploration, we delve into the nuanced … Continue reading Can next-generation sequencing replace phage microscopy?
