They become increasingly resistant to antibiotics which poses a significant threat to public health, especially to populations at risk. Finding therapeutic alternatives to eradicate these resistant strains is a priority. Therefore, this fundamental research study deepens our understanding of bacteriophages (a.k.a. phages) used in phage therapy, a promising alternative approach for tackling antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains. To achieve this, the study focuses on the characterization of phage Tournay infecting Staphylococcus spp.text::thesis::master thesis
