The isolation of bacteriophages targeting most clinically relevant bacteria is reasonably straightforward as long as its targeted host does not have complex chemical, physical, and environmental requirements. Often, sewage, soil, feces, and different body fluids are used for bacteriophage isolation procedures, and following enrichment, it is common to obtain more than a single phage in a sample. This chapter describes a simple method for the enrichment and isolation of bacteriophages from liquid and solid samples that can be adapted for different clinically important aerobic bacteria.
