Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • We emphasise the complexity and individuality of the phageome, and the link to the health state of the host. • We highlight the practical applications of bacteriophages in medicine and in the food chain. • We indicate the future directions for bacteriophage research in human health as biomarkers of the microbiota. • We propose the use of phages as interventions targeted at the microbiota.
