Bacteriophages are powerful tools for investigatingand manipulating their hosts. This holds particularly true for mycobacteriophages, which have facilitated the development of mycobacterial genetic systems and have generated tools for the clinical diagnosis of tuberculosis. Recently, the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR-TB)strains of M. tuberculosis has become a major globalhealth concern). The demand for new ways to overcome TB drug resistance has stimulated fresh research on mycobacteriophages and their lytic effi ciencyagainst their hosts.
