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

Increasing antimicrobial resistance and medical device-related infections have led to a
renewed interest in phage therapy as an alternative or adjunct to conventional …

Bacteriophages (phages) are often described as obligate predators of their bacterial hosts,
and phage predation is one of the leading forces controlling the density and distribution of …

Viruses of bacteria (bacteriophages or phage) have broad effects on bacterial ecology and
evolution in nature that mediate microbial interactions, shape bacterial diversity, and …

Bacteriophages (phages) are selective viral predators of bacteria. Abundant and ubiquitous
in nature, phages can be used to treat bacterial infections (phage therapy), including …

Bacteriophages are enigmatic entities that defy definition. Classically, they are specialist
viruses that exclusively parasitize bacterial hosts. Yet this definition becomes limiting when …

The majority of viruses within the gut are obligate bacterial viruses known as bacteriophages
(phages). Their bacteriotropism underscores the study of phage ecology in the gut, where …

Bacteriophages (phages) are nano-sized viruses characterized by their inherent ability to
live off bacteria. They utilize diverse mechanisms to absorb and gain entry into the bacterial …

The human gut is home to trillions of microorganisms including prokaryotes, eukaryotes, and
viruses which each have integral roles in maintaining the stability and resilience of this …

Bacterial resistance against antibiotics is an emergent medical issue. The development of
novel therapeutic approaches is urgently needed and, in this context, bacteriophages …
