Abstract
An increasing number of pathogenicity factors carried by bacteriophages have been discovered. This review considers bacteriophage–bacterium interaction and its relation to disease processes. We discuss the search for new bacteriophage-associated pathogenicity factors, with emphasis on recent advances brought by the use of genomic sequence data and the techniques of genomic epidemiology.
