Abstract

One of the most important factors for successful bacteriophage therapy is, undoubtedly, the isolation of excellent therapeutic candidate bacteriophages. There are only a few reports about active bacteriophages in the fastidious bacteria Helicobacter pylori. In this chapter, we describe a method for isolating and purifying KHP30-like bacteriophages in H. pylori, which have lytic and pseudolysogenic life cycles.
