Description Bacteriophages are highly diverse and ubiquitous viruses that infect and replicate within bacteria. Virulent phages are increasingly used in phage therapy, an alternative approach for antibiotic treatment of infectious diseases caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria, and in biocontrol against plant and veterinary pathogens. In this study, we conducted a large-scale investigation of the presence of phage defense systems .As the use of phage for biocontrol and therapy has significantly increased in recent years, this investigation contributes to a better understanding of host-virus interactions and the ecological consequences of the use of phages on complex communities.
