Bdellovibrio are predatory bacteria that invade the periplasm of other Gram-negative bacteria where they undergo a complex developmental cycle that culminates in killing of the prey cell. Their intracellular niche allows Bdellovibrio to feed without competition and their lytic action can rapidly reduce bacterial populations, including pathogens, making these predatory bacteria interesting potential candidates for therapeutic applications. With the complete genome sequence for one Bdellovibrio strain now available, researchers now have an opportunity to evaluate the therapeutic potential of these predatory bacteria.
