Abstract:

A series of mycobacterial infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, leprosy and Buruli ulcer have become serious problems to be solved urgently, however, the emergence of drug-resistant mycobacteria has intensified the difficulties in the clinical treatment of such diseases. Mycobacteria bacteriophages has great potential in the diagnosis and treatment of mycobacterium diseases. In this paper, the phenotype, genomics and application status of mycobacteria phages were summarized, to provide reference for further research and clinical application of mycobacteria phages.
