Claim 8:
9. A method of producing a population of phages, wherein the phages are of a first type capable of infecting host cells of a first bacterial species or strain by binding a cell-surface receptor comprised by bacteria of the first species or strain, the method comprising
(a) providing a population of second bacterial cells comprising the receptor on the surface of the second cells, wherein the second cells are of a second species or strain, wherein the second species or strain is different from the first species or strain;
(b) infecting the second cells with the phages of the first type; and
(c) propagating the phages in the second cells, thereby producing the population of phages;
wherein the second bacterial cells are engineered to produce the receptor, wherein wild-type bacteria of the second species or strain do not produce the receptor.
