We commonly acknowledge that bacterial viruses (phages) shape the composition and
evolution of bacterial communities in nature and therefore have important roles in ecosystem …

The human body hosts vast microbial communities, termed the microbiome. Less well
known is the fact that the human body also hosts vast numbers of different viruses …

Advances in next-generation sequencing have enabled the widespread measurement of
microbiome composition across systems and over the course of microbiome assembly …

Intense genome sequencing of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from cystic fibrosis (CF)
airways has shown inefficient eradication of the infecting bacteria, as well as previously …

Despite remarkable strides in microbiome research, the viral component of the microbiome
has generally presented a more challenging target than the bacteriome. This gap persists …

Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is the most common healthcare-

Increasing rates of infection by antibiotic resistant bacteria have led to a resurgence of
interest in bacteriophage (phage) therapy. Several phage therapy studies in animals and …

Bacteriophage (also known as phage) communities that inhabit the gut have a major effect
on the structure and functioning of bacterial populations, but their roles and association with …

Bacteriophages (phages) are often described as obligate predators of their bacterial hosts,
