Parallel to the predator's increasing understanding, it became clear that the remarkable predatory capability of human pathogenic bacteria represents a feature that could be exploited to potentially use B. bacteriovorus as a "Biocontrol agent". Because it could be used as a probiotic and antibiotic agent, research on this particular "predatory bacterium" has received attention in response to the growing problem of antibiotic resistance. In this paper, we highlight the important aspects of the study of B. bacteriovorus, including discovery, predation mechanisms, predation resistance, and potential applications. Furthermore, this review discusses the studies that pave the way for B. bacteriovorus to be used as a "living antibiotic" in human therapy, with a focus on its interaction with biofilms, the host immune response, predation susceptibility, and in vivo applications. The available data suggest that this predator bacterium can be transformed from a purely academic curiosity into a tool for combating antibiotic-resistant infections.
