Abstract
HIGHLIGHTS
•Bacteriophages are known for their roles in rapid development of the bacterial evolution and transfer of various genes.
•Safety issues have always been a great concern since primary uses of bacteriophages in medicine.
•Comprehensive studies are necessary to ensure safe uses of bacteriophages in medicine.
