Abstract
Phage cocktails have emerged as precision tools for controlling plant bacterial diseases. Wang et al. now report that phage cocktails decreased the occurrence of tomato bacterial wilt disease efficiently by infecting and destroying bacterial pathogens, selecting phage-resistant but slow-growing pathogen strains, and fostering bacterial species that are antagonistic to the pathogens.
