Abstract : An increasing number of pathogenicity factors are discovered to be carried by bacteriophages. This review considers the bacteriophage-bacterium interaction and its relation to disease processes. We discuss the search for new bacteriophage-associated pathogenicity factors with emphasis on recent advances brought by the use of genomic sequence data and the techniques of genomic epidemiology.
