Gene Mapping Using Bacteriophages

Bacteriophages Seem to be different vital forms which play an important role in Gene transfer !!!

They follow two routes for gene transfer:
-Generalised Transduction
-Specialised Transduction..

With the Gene transfer mechanism, This method can be best utilised for Gene mapping.

The Question arises...How can a bacteriophage map the gene for unrelated species of Bacteria ????

Do post the related answers...!!!!
