Provided are compositions and methods for selectively reducing the amount of antibiotic resistant and/or virulent bacteria in a mixed bacteria population, or for reducing any other type of unwanted bacteria in a mixed bacteria population. The compositions and methods involve targeting bacteria that are differentiated from other members of the population by at least one unique clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) targeted DNA sequence. The compositions and methods can be readily adapted to target any bacteria or any bacteria plasmid, or both.

The present invention relates to a method for reducing or preventing the formation or activity of a corrosion-associated biofilm on a metal surface, wherein the method comprises contacting the metal surface with a liquid composition comprising biocidal preparation. The present invention also relates to a microbicidal composition comprising at least one alcohol, one liquid hydrocarbon, a bacteriophage immobilized on a magnetic nanocomposite, at least one phage releasing reagent and one stabilizer. The microbicide composition and method of the present invention reduces biofilms on surfaces, and consequently, reduces, mitigates, or eliminates MIC in internal surface of the oil transporting pipelines.
