Bacteriophages: Biology and Applications.QR342 2004-058578 0-8493-1336-8 Bacteriophages; biology and applications. Title main entry. Ed. by Elizabeth Kutter and Alexander Sulakvelidze. CRC (Cyclical Redundancy Checking) An error checking technique used to ensure the accuracy of transmitting digital data. The transmitted messages are divided into predetermined lengths which, used as dividends, are divided by a fixed divisor. Press, [c]2005 510 p. $129.95 The emergence of antibiotic-resistance bacteria has led to increased attention to the idea of using bacteriophages in antibacterial therapies. It is also though that bacteriophages can be useful for researchers using DNA sequencing to investigate novel proteins or the early history of cellular life. Kutter (biophysics biophysics, application of various methods and principles of physical science to the study of biological problems. In physiological biophysics physical mechanisms have been used to explain such biological processes as the transmission of nerve impulses, the muscle , Evergreen State College) and Sulakvelidze (epidemiology and preventive medicine preventive medicine, branch of medicine dealing with the prevention of disease and the maintenance of good health practices. Until recently preventive medicine was largely the domain of the U.S. , U. of Maryland School of Medicine) combine introductory information about the history of bacteriophage research, phage phage: see bacteriophage. phage - A program that modifies other programs or databases in unauthorised ways; especially one that propagates a virus or Trojan horse. See also worm, mockingbird. The analogy, of course, is with phage viruses in biology. biology and ecology, and the role of phages in bacterial evolution together with discussion of recent research results and applications in a variety of fields, including the detection of pathogenic bacteria Pathogenic bacteria Bacteria that produce illness. Mentioned in: Gastroenteritis , industrial fermentations, and bacteriophages as vectors and targeted delivery vehicles. |
