| Discovery Notes | The process of finding phages was very arduous and it was difficult in attempting to find phages in the first few weeks due to scientific dilemmas. |
| Naming Notes | Assassin comes from the fact that phage are hunters and killers of bacteria which makes them more or less assassins. The adjective 'good' describes that the phages are actually for the environment; they assist in killing life's most fatal adversary, bacteria. Phages can be utilized in medical applications such as amputation surgery and for healing open- wound infections. Phages are truly good assassins. |
