New online! Phage host range: determinants, dynamics and applications
Nature Reviews Microbiology, Published online: 23 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41579-026-01306-xComprehensive assessment of the host range of phages is a prerequisite for their safe and effective use in multiple applications but is rarely undertaken. This Review outlines the molecular and ecological determinants of phage host range and discusses the importance of these determinants for developing phage-based applications.
