Phage cocktails have emerged as precision tools for controlling plant bacterial diseases. Wang et al. now report that phage cocktails decreased the occurrence of tomato bacterial wilt disease efficiently by infecting and destroying bacterial pathogens, selecting phage-resistant but slow-growing pathogen strains, and fostering bacterial species that are antagonistic to the pathogens.

噬菌体鸡尾酒疗法：抑制致病性的多种方法

噬菌体鸡尾酒已成为控制植物细菌疾病的精密工具。Wang等。现在报道，噬菌体鸡尾酒通过感染和破坏细菌病原体，选择抗噬菌体但生长缓慢的病原体菌株以及培育对病原体具有拮抗作用的细菌种类，有效地减少了番茄细菌性枯萎病的发生。
