Modulation of phage therapy. The phage attaches to its host and incorporates its genetic information into the DNA of the host (A). If the bacterium was to be destroyed, for example, because of dysbiosis or pathogenicity, then the administration of a therapeutic agent (B) into the colon might induce the lytic cycle of the incorporated phages and subsequently degrade the bacterium (C).
