Pseudomonas bacteriophage isolation and production

Methods Mol Biol. 2014:1149:23-32. doi: 10.1007/978-1-4939-0473-0_4.

Abstract

Bacterial viruses or bacteriophages were discovered nearly 100 years ago and are ubiquitous in nature, readily isolated for a variety of bacterial hosts and from a diversity of sources. Here, we describe the methods used to isolate, concentrate, purify, and produce bacteriophages specific for Pseudomonas species.
