RESUMEN
Los virus que parasitan a las bacterias, denominados bacteriófagos o fagos, están volviendo a la actualidad científica, hecho evidenciado con la creación del Instituto Médico Howard Hughs en Estados Unidos (EE. UU.), o el Instituto CRU-MEDI en Reino Unido; este cambio de interés se debe a la posibilidad de utilizarlos en terapia antibacteriana, frente a bacterias multiresistentes. El conocimiento de estos virus se inicia con los estudios de Frederick Twort en el año 1915, al demostrar que "hay virus que infectan bacterias y las matan". Pero fue Félix d'Herelle, quién desarrolló, con éxito, protocolos terapeúticos para infecciones digestivas en animales y humanos. Los bacteriófagos han sido la herramienta base de laboratorio para el desarrollo de las ciencias en virología y en biología molecular.
ABSTRACT
Viruses that parasitize bacteria, called bacteriophages or phages, are returning to scientific news, evidenced by the creation of the Howard Hughs Medical Institute in the United States (USA), or the CRU-MEDI Institute in the United Kingdom; This change of interest is due to the possibility of using them in antibacterial therapy, against multiresistant bacteria. The knowledge of these viruses begins with the studies of Frederick Twort in the year 1915, demonstrating that "there are viruses that infect bacteria and kill them." But it was Felix d'Herelle, who successfully developed therapeutic protocols for digestive infections in animals and humans. Bacteriophages have been the basic laboratory tool for the development of science in virology and molecular biology.
