Bacteriophages (BPs) also known as peptible bacteria without causing any harm to humans, animals
or any other bacteria that are beneficial. Because of this, it is supposed that they can be used to treat
bacterial infections either alone or can supplement the treatment of bacterial infections with
antibiotics. In view of serious health problems of antibiotics resistance by the bacteria, researchers
