ABSTRACT
Bacteriophages (phages for short) are the most abundant biological entities on Earth and are natural enemies of bacteria. Genomics and molecular biology have identified subtle and complex relationships among phages, bacteria and their animal hosts. This review covers composition, diversity and factors affecting gut phage, their lifecycle in the body, and interactions with bacteria and hosts. In addition, research regarding phage in poultry, aquaculture and livestock are summarized, and application of phages in antibiotic substitution, phage therapy and food safety are reviewed.
